Tribute to James Cotton

Alright, let me tell you about my musical journey, which has taken me through quite a few different styles and instruments.

I started with a formal music education, where I studied French horn and church organ. I really immersed myself in the world of classical music, playing in concert bands and orchestras. Later on, I joined a military band, which gave me the chance to explore a wider range of instruments. I played clarinet, trumpet, trombone, and of course, horn. It was a great experience to be part of such a disciplined and professional musical organization.

Beyond performing, I also developed a keen interest in the mechanics of musical instruments. I became a church organ builder and a restorer of mechanical instruments. This allowed me to combine my love of music with my fascination for how instruments work. I found it incredibly rewarding to bring these complex and beautiful machines back to life.

In more recent years, I've found myself drawn to the raw emotion and soulful expression of the blues. I've taken up the blues harmonica, and I'm really enjoying the journey of learning this instrument and exploring this genre. The blues feels like a natural fit for me, a way to connect with music on a deeper, more personal level.

So, that's a little bit about my musical background. It's been a diverse and winding path, but I'm grateful for all the experiences and opportunities I've had along the way.
