One of my first memories of loving music was when I played Winthrop in the Music Man when I was 10 years old. Part of the story included Winthrop waiting on the Wells Fargo Wagon for his bright new cornet. In the play, I got to play a few notes, with “voice over” by the orchestra. But it was then that I decided I wanted to learn to play the trumpet. I played in school band through high school and also have some fond memories from our dance band, Cargo, in the last two years of high school. Our best musicians were black, and we were known best for our covers of Earth, Wind and Fire and the Commodores. As an adult, I played in a wind orchestra for several years and also led an instrumental group at our last church. Music has always been an important part of my life. Several years ago, Keller Williams invited Wintley Phipps to our annual meeting and I shared a link at that time. This is one of my most vivid memories of how powerful it can be when God-inspired people combine music with a story. It’s 8 minutes and worth every minute. Click here.
