The Wisdom of Brother Dave

My brother Dave, the world famous trumpet maker, called me to chat a few days ago. Here's a snippet of our conversation.

Dave: One of my clients just played for the Obamas at the White House.

Me: How could he do that? I'd be so nervous I couldn't get a note out.

Dave: Playing trumpet is his life. He lives for it. He wasn't nervous at all.

Dave: Would you be nervous knitting a sock at the White House?

Me: Well, no. I'm willing to entertain the Obamas with sock knitting anytime they want to invite me.
