Every once and a while we are fortunate to meet new, refreshing people. People who make us smile and, in this instance, make us think. Would jazz be jazz had I not known you? Would a trumpet just be a trumpet if it weren't for your persistent and unwavering determination to continue to find new ways to say the same things that we all can identify with. The black and whiteness of your decision that say I am over am not a trumpet player shows when you travel and 'she' is only a hop, skip and a jump away. In order to be great you have to be determined and that is what I see in you. A classic man of Jazz injected with a tenacious zeal to hold on to the one thing that you can love unconditionally and without fear, your horn. Excuse me, trumpet. If I am still out of line for not using her name forgive me, because know I know you love her.
