About Tony Sanchez:Trumpet Songs is a story based upon hundreds of musicians I have met and performed with over the years. I have attempted to place this fictional character I call Tony Sanchez into musically historical events and places and with actual musicians of those periods.The birthplace of mariachi is considered to be in or near Guadalajara, Mexico, and some of the bands mentioned in my story are actual bands that performed in Mexico. The other musicians in my story who Tony Sanchez meets or performs with are both fictional and real. The reader will probably know which ones are real and which ones are fictional. It should be clear that there never was a Tony Sanchez who played with Dizzy Gillespie, Jay McShann, Leonard Bernstein, Burt Bacharach, Herb Alpert, or Sonny and Cher. What I wanted to do in this book is take the reader through the different times and places of music in America. Tony Sanchez is real in the sense that he embodies the hopes and dreams of almost all professional musicianstheir drive to be better, and their almost insane need to be on the move. In the end, my story is nothing more than a fictional account of a musician, like myself, who daydreams of being something he will never be, and works at a goal he will never reach.Randy Fiction Fiction eBook, iUniverse<
