I came to school as a pianist; Mr. Manley then took me on as an organist. I played organ for a year under him; then Mr. Chard started me on pipe organ, then he switched me to saxophone full time and dropped pipe organ. I used to split the period betwixt the two in the auditorium.

Just when I started to make noises that resembled musical notes with the French horn Mr. Chard wanted me to concentrate on playing the drums. I think if you learn to play cornett you can play other types of wood wind instruments. I could be wrong but I had a cousin who played one. -----Original Message----- From: msb-alumni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:msb-alumni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry D.

I started out on snare drums moved to base drum & symbols. I started learning French horn but stayed with drums. I wish I had of taken piano when it was offered to me in second grade but I wanted guitar & there wasn't anymore openings. Back then the beattles were the craze & everyone wanted to be a rock star. Also my dad & uncle played guitar. Since school I have taken a few guitar lessons, harp lessons & learned a little about the keyboard. In school I was also in bell ringers. -----Original Message----- From: msb-alumni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:msb-alumni-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry D.
