I'm back now, didn't end up playing the jazz tunes nor taps so I didn't have to
stress about playing the song, "Night And Day" which was on my mind all day
today, only played Amazing Grace with my buddy and my solo at the end of the
program, Fanfare For The Common Man God Bless The USA which made people applaud
loudly, cry get really emotional, then I and my buddy played softly while a
live high school jazz band played several songs for the dancing, and no one
noticed us playing because the band was loud, but we noticed and it sounded
fantastic, by the way, I was wrong about the ship name in San Francisco, it is
the SS O'Brien and it is huge! Good thing I didn't get lost in it all, the food
wasn't good though, hope you all are doing fine and good night.
On my solo to end the program before the dancing, I planned to play what I
heard a trumpeter do on the music minus one trumpet version of "God Bless The
USA," but instead I jazzed it up a bit and instead of ending it with the low
note, B flat for trumpet, I found myself going two octaves high, not on
purpose, I assure you all, oh wow, what a night oh and they all got a chuckle
when I told the maestro, "Hit it maestro!", because I didn't know how else to
signal him before I ended the fanfare for the common man, so did it before
playing the last three notes then when he played the music from the CD, it came
in on time, how perfect that was!
Well, I'm off to bed now,

"To me, music that breaks your heart is the music that stays with you forever.
It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you
get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're
on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound,
the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter
