Michael Barrett Eaton

My dob is 10-01-52. I am really lookinf forward to seeing evryone again. I went to the 10 year and 15 and 25 years reunions and really enjoyed myself. As you all may remember I played the trumpet in highschool and did so until 2002, when getting dentures ended my career on the trumpet , but I was able to play a larger mouthpiece so I started playing the valve-trombone and I am having a ball with it guys, man I love it as much as I did the trumpet.

I got a degree in music education from UMKC in 1975 but I iwanted to just play music and travel, so that just what I did until I met my bride in 1980. We settled down in Independence and started our family. I trained to be an instrument repair technician and have been doing just that since then, I play music on the week-ends and fix horns all during the week. I met up with Mike Panatheire in 2007 and joined his band, Platinum Express, and it is a fun ride. See you all in Sept.
