[nostalgia can be good, but only in small doses] This is a picture of me, Robert Z (I don't like calling out full names of people I've lost touch with), and Moof in high school in the band room. I thought it was Stage Band, but Moof has a lyre on his trumpet, so it must be from marching band and late in the season, since we were all wearing long sleeves. So that'd put it at at late 1983.

Moof showed it to me recently and he got it a few years ago from someone from Facebook, so it has no metadata. I'm pretty sure it's staged, since that's not my style of playing and I was probably just pretending to be Maynard Ferguson or the trumpet player from the Muppets.

And just so there's no confusion, I was never cool, I was a dork, but a goofy dork. images/Photos/frank-trumpet.png
