Vee << I volunteered and as a result the junior high school provided me with a clarinet and Mr. Hatch the music teacher gave me weekly(?) lessons on how to play the clarinet. Of course he wasn't a professional clarinet player himself; he also taught other students how to play the trumpet, trombone, tuba, saxophone, etc. but I managed to at least get the hang of playing the clarinet.>> Good old Mr Hatch taught me Trumpet lessons. Or rather gave me trumpet lessons. As I remember I went to his house after school on I believe McKoon Avenue. I didn't develop the sweet tones of Harry James or the like either. My siblings also went to Mr Hatch and in the evenings we played at home sometimes. My Mother would accompany us on the piano. Bob AZ
