Nice -- is that you playing, bonjojet?
Thanks! Its actually my dad playing. I "produce" the songs for him. He hadn't picked up a trumpet in 40 years since high school band and we bought him one for Christmas. He LOVES it. So, I "coach" him on the nuances of different songs and thought it'd be perfect to model Haley's interpretation of the beginning of HOTR as a start to the trumpet track. I can almost see her playing the trumpet when I listen to it. :-) We could probably put together a "trumpet cover" of something off of Listen Up...
Hmmm -- as an ex-trumpet player, I can't envision Haley playing trumpet -- maybe playing "at playing" trumpet, like someone (who later became somewhat famous) I remember from my high school band and, specifically, the Tournament of Roses parade (she wasn't actually in band).
Anyway, your dad has acquired that embouchure in 6 months, after not playing for 40 years? Call me impressed. He has a nice tone and lovely vibrato.
