The Trumpet
Jimmy’s mom asked if anyone wanted one of the old trumpet’s lying around the Smith home. We thought the kids would love it. Behold – they really loved it. They were clamoring for a turn.
So interesting that the 3 oldest kids played with cheeks full of air. Little Tru had tight lips and cheeks. I have no idea the proper way to play a trumpet. But everyone did a great job getting some good honks out of that instrument.
Jimmy played the trumpet in the 6th grade when he lived in Dahlonega, GA. Stephen played the trombone & Phillip played the French Horn. His mom used to have them go out to the cow pasture to practice.
Fun Fun! Hang onto that. Musical instruments are so expensive. Braden tried the trumpet in 6th grade…poor kid couldn’t do it. So he ended up playing the clarinet instead. We rented that dumb thing all school year. Oh well its over. Loud times ahead!
