Profile details

I've chosen to profile my father-in-law, who used to play the trumpet. At 15, he was the youngest member of the Colts Marching Band in 1965 and later in high school he played in a band called La Moures. They covered Chicago, The Beatles, Blood Sweat & Tears, and other Top 40 Bands of that era. They were one of the original bands to play in the Fells Point Festival and are listed in Baltimore's Book of Bands. I found the interview very interesting, so much so that I could barely keep up, and then found that I couldn't fit all of his information into a 250 word story, so it has really been pared down to the essentials, per the project requirements. The magazine I chose to model from is Rolling Stone. I had to buy it covertly because it has Britney Spears on the front!

250 words was a real problem for me also!

We should've bought magazines for each other... I was trying to find ESPN Magazine but couldn't for a while. The only other general sports magazine (weight lifting and golf digest weren't going to work for me) I could find was SI. The swimsuit issue. What an internal struggle! ;)

It'd be real funny if I said to the cashier "I'm buying it for the articles."
