Leave it to Jerry Oram to drop all the golden nuggets! Here's another one, this time from noted trumpet player, composer and author Irving Bush:

Jerry Oram passed on a great quote from Kenton alumnus Don Smith about being a lead trumpet player:
There are three registers on the trumpet: the low register, the high register, and the cash register, and that's where I play.
