Damon..  aka "Boss" is looking sharp!  He's got the trumpet he's always wanted!!  This build was special for me because Damon is mentor in the school music business, friend, and basically family.  We've shared so many laughs and so many good bottle of scotch together that he will always have a special place in my heart.
