Note From a Failed French Hornist

I tried to ply the golden French Horn when I was younger I took lessons and emptied saliva from it I even tried out for the college orchestra Don't have my golden French Horn anymore Don't have much gold either But I love to hear the French horn in orchestras and in rock and roll bands It is a marvelous instrument and I am proud that I tried to play it

This nice poem brings back memories of being in the school band. I played the trumpet and I still have it... At least you tried, but never give up, Matthew. Anyone can still learn anything throughout their lives!

I am happy because you gave it a try. That is why! You still have the music in you, heart. You are proud, I am proud of the way you show good faith at the end of this poem. LINDA soup mail
