When I started to play trumpet I was fortunate to learn very quickly.
Kids know me from their Grease DVD, so they instantly respond. You can hear a pin drop when I do my old songs.
I've been around two years shy of 50 years doing what I do. I am a musician.
I wound up signing to RCA Victor as a trumpeter, guesting on shows like Jackie Gleason's Honeymooners.
I think todays music absolutely stinks. I really do mean that.
I was not a trained actor.
