[Dixielandjazz] Fwd: RE:Trumpet Nickname

[Larry Walton Entertainment - St. Louis]

I pass the Mormon temple here in St. Louis fairly often and they have an 
angel blowing a trumpet.  I think the angel's name is Moroni.

Just think of what a Dixie band would sound like today if the Angels had 
picked Oboes instead of Trumpets.  Scary.
