Blue, red and purple lighting on the stage at DC9, a nightclub in Washington DC. A tambourine, trumpet, flugelhorn, plunger mute and Harmon mute are on the floor next to a glockenspiel. In the background is a piano keyboard, guitar and a drumset.

Screenshot from DC’s WMATA Metro Rewind campaign. It shows a panda playing guitar as the “Headliner” archetype because of frequent public transit use to and from music hotspots around DC area. Top station was Shaw-Howard. Top bus line was D4X.

The rewind from @wmata.com knows me too well, I sure am the Headliner 🎺 🚊 🚍

A silver plated trumpet stands on a candlelit table inside the music club Bossa Bistro in the Adams Morgan neighborhood in Washington DC. An exposed brick wall is in the background.

The bassist at the Bossa session said I made it feel like 1960s Brazil and that’s probably one of the nicest complements I could have gotten #BeardedTrumpetPlayer 🎺
