Trumpet


These are some of my favorite photos of Bruce with Trevor when he was two. I loved hearing Bruce play all of his instruments--wooden flute to soothe a grandson to sleep, mandolin, piano, Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring on the trumpet at our wedding to accompany Ben on guitar. When we lived in Bruce and Mary's house in 2005-2006, Bruce began playing taps at Tahoma cemetery. He practiced every day in the den with the door closed while the boys and I were there and the sound of that beautiful song became a familiar background to our lives. I always thought that when Trevor and Colin hear taps any time in their lives, it will be familiar and precious to them because of those hours of listening to their grandpa play it.
