I was in band through elementary school and high school. I must have liked it, to stick with it that long. However, when I graduated high school if you told me I would ever play that stupid baritone horn again I would have told you that you were nuts.

Then it 2019 I got it back from my sister who taught elementary school music. You see, a friend kept telling me how much fun she was having in the Extraordinary Rendition Band of Providence Rhode Island.

When she found out this baritone horn existed that was mine and that I could get back for the asking, she wouldn't leave me alone.

So all those 51 years later my sister had it fixed up (the elem school kids had been pretty hard on it) and gave it back to me. I joined the band and I can't begin to tell you how much fun it is. Well, yes I can:
