Genius Paul, sheer genius. He's right guys. I just got the new state quarter for Tennessee...yup! There it is! The "Musical Heritage" of Tennessee...
A flat-top guitar
A fiddle
and...
a trumpet. 
A TRUMPET?!?!
Obviously, Danny Davis has friends in high places. Or could it be he's done more for the "Musical Heritage" of Tennessee than Buddy, Shot, Weldon, Hal, Pete, Paul, Jimmy, Stu, Russ, Bill, etc., etc., etc.. Do the trumpet players in Tennessee outnumber the steelers? Do the trumpet manufacturers in Tennessee outnumber the steel manufacturers?
I rest my case.
I try to look on the bright side...honestly I do.
Maybe the Louisiana (New Orleans) quarter will feature a pedal steel.
Whaddya think?

I ran a search for TRUMPETFORUM.COM and it said: Sorry; no matches found !! I'd try Hornblower.com but I'm afraid I'd get Horatio and I can't deal with that.
They could have used used a fry pan or a harmonica or a banjo but Dang It: A trumpet !! I don't think even Danny Davis has that much clout. Maybe Boots but then he played a sax.....Maybe it was just plain old fashioned stupidity after all!!

OK, now I know what we're talking about!
quote:
"The fiddle represents the Appalachian music of east Tennessee, the trumpet stands for the blues of west Tennessee for which Memphis is famous, and the guitar is for central Tennessee, home to Nashville, the capital of country music."

| Tennessee includes Memphis, the birthplace of the blues and W.C. Handy. I wonder why they didn't put a Tennessee Walking Horse on it! |

A Trumpet Eh? Now let's look at the history of trumpet in country and western swing. Is it there? You got that right! Some of the old Jimmie Rodgers records had trumpet on them by none other than Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong. Then in the 30's Bob Wills used them on a regular basis, now to the 40's. One of the biggest hits of that decade was "Pistol Packin' Mama" by Al Dexter. The lead breaks were on muted trumpet as I recall. Also most of the Merle Travis vocal hits had trumpet on them as well as monster hits such as "Smoke, Smoke, Smoke that Cigarette" by Tex Williams. As you can see, the trumpet has played a very large part in our history. With all that said " I STILL HATE THE DAMN THINGS"!!!!!

The design was created through a contest run in Tenn. and was won by a man from the Kankakee, Illinois area, who now resides in Tenn. At least thats what the local paper here said! (Don't remember his name)I'll try to find it.
Just my 25 cents worth!!! |

W.C. Handy actually played the cornet, not the trumpet.
