Finally...after years of musical training, and countless hours of practicing his instrument, the dutiful trumpet player is ready to begin the performance. But wait! Unforeseen circumstances are about to wreak havoc during this musical 'gig.'Can you imagine trying to play your trumpet while stepping in some horse-hockey, or having some slippery seals splash water all over you, or swallowing a cicada as you go to blow your horn? How about getting slapped by a tipsy dancing party guest, falling off of a rickety stage, or having to change into your tuxedo in a fast-food restaurant bathroom? Dozens of uproarious situations like these occur in "Memoirs of a Trumpet Player." This is the anticipated sequel to the hysterical "Memoirs of a Trumpet Teacher," and it chronicles the humorous adventures of a professional trumpet player trying to carve out his career. So, enjoy your musical journey, but be careful: you may encounter a lion roaring in the dark right next to your head, or someone may even shoot a hole in the bass drum!
Sam Bennett has played the trumpet in more than 3,500 musical performances over thirty years, which are the basis for the stories in "Memoirs of a Trumpet Player." This book is the companion to the hilarious "Memoirs of a Trumpet Teacher,". He lives in the Chicago area with his wife (also a professional musician), and they have two sons that are in the music business as well.
