When is it too late to follow your dreams?  For Jerry Hooper, the answer is 'never.'  Jerry worked in banking for over 4 decades, but his passion was piano. His dream was to play music professionally.  And he followed his dream. Join me as I talk to Jerry about how he made the leap from amateur pianist to professional piano player - all after the age of 60.  Links: <a href="https://www.jerryhoopermusic.com/">Jerry's website</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/wblL3moXBTo">Jerry's Mentor Joe Cartwright performing live</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/grhooper729">Brass Rewind's Facebook page</a>
