I Think This Was My First Favorite Song

I believe this may have been the first song that could have stood out as my favorite.

Herb Alpert & Tijuana Brass - Tijuana Taxi


It made me want to play the trumpet. I had piano lessons around the time of the first and second grade, but it didn't really stick. A bit later I remember going to the band teacher telling him I wanted to play trumpet thinking of this song. He asked me to hum America the Beautiful. I wasn't much of a singer and I didn't do it very well. He told me I had not musical ability and I could not be in the band.

Next time you have a dictionary handy look up bad teacher. I'm sure they have a picture of him.
