RE: So how did you start out to learn the trumpet?
I taught myself ow to play, beginning in 7th grade. I was sick at home one day and listened to some Bix on old records. We had an old trumpet around the house. Off I went. Our school hired a band director when I was in 9th grade. I went on to major in music and teach it for 40 years

RE: How do you feel about vibrato?
When vibrato is TOO noticeable, I think it is too much. Gilbert Johnson had a strong vibrato in the Philadelphia Orchestra, but it never distracted me.
