Howard plays a 55 year old horn which he inherited from his older brothers and which he first used in the Madison West Junior High School 7th, 8th and 9th grade bands. He loaned the instrument to his nephews and then went off to the University of Wisconsin and Harvard Law School. After a 43 year performance respite, he is back at it again and is pleased to find that his lip is as good as it ever was. (We know the obvious question, but choose not to ask it.) While he is still practicing law, he is considering giving up the day job.
