Fantastic story. Very inspiring! I came from Cleveland Ohio and my father was in retail. I wanted to play trombone and all was fine until I wanted to get a degree in music! Hard work I am glad that my parents instilled that in e. Now at 81 I am preparing to audition for Orchestra Toronto. I entered the Manhattan International Music Competition. Hard work and a real love for music has always been with me. Carole in Toronto
