Mr. Brady

My former trumpet teacher, and friend, Charles Brady passed away this morning. It is truly a shock. He was a lively fellow, who had the pleasure of playing with people like Stravinsky and Copland and came back to our small area to teach young children.

He truly changed the way I approached my trumpet playing and music in general. He was always quick to offer a seed of musical wisdom that was often accompanied by a morsel of a life lesson.

He was one of the most settled people I knew about who he was and why he was here. He will be missed.
