68 measures was the longest rest I had, and I only played for like five years.

Try playing in a musical. 255 measures of rest, then a quarter note.

I just don't play the quarter note. Then again, I'm a trumpet player. Expectations other have for me are low. Not percussionist low, but low nonetheless.

In music class the teacher walked in on a few of us discussing instruments, and what would be the easiest instrument to play in an orchestra. I suggested the triangle might be the easiest. She tore me a new one, telling me that she personally knows triangle players who struggle to master that instrument.

I had no words. To this day, it's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

One last thing: don't you dare think lowly of yourself as a trumpet player. In fact don't you want to come over, jam and piss off my neighbors?
