    Steve's Interests
GeneralI was a geology major in college and loved to surf. I used to do gigs on cruise ships "The Love Boat". I had the best of both worlds. My newest passion is catch and release rattle snakes........ We get lots of snakes where we live. I have stopped killing them and now we relocate. I love Cactus! Aloes, Agaves, Euphorbia, succulents and all kinds of draught tolerant flora.
MusicWell as you can imagine that is deep! I love any and all Trane, Breckers (Mike and Randy) , Clifford and Wynton. Then there's Satchmo, Fats, Diz, Blue, Miles, Freddie, Booker, Woody, Bix, Nic, .............. and anybody with a cool moniker. I love the singers too.. Ella, Sarah, Sammy, Frank, Mel but their nicknames aren't as cool. I'm going to change my name to "Styles Bitchly" (You can call me Styles)
MoviesLoved Predator! Dug Iron Man
TelevisionNot much time .............. I practice to CNN
BooksLoved the Da Vinci Codes (hated the Movie) Shackleton's Voyage of Endurance
HeroesLouis Armstrong, Wynton Marsallis, The Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Waynard B

About me:
This MySpace is about the fun side of my life. Most of my friends know me as either a performer or retailer of trumpets. I have played trumpet for 44 years and I figured someone might find it interesting. I'm a freelance trumpet player in San Diego County near the Mexican border on the West Coast. I've been married for 11 years and have two beautiful children. I also run a website called Horntrader.com. (http://www.horntrader.com/about.htm) Founded in 1998, HornTrader.com was the first of its kind and is still the best site to find quality horns, related gear, and information for the discerning trumpeter. Sorry about the plug but my kiddies need new shoes.............. Although most of my work comes from musical theatre ( bus & Truck shows ) I am a busy freelancer in the So Cal area. I am involved with such diverse groups as San Diego Symphony, San Diego Chamber Orchestra, Broadway SanDiego, SD Opera, The Screamin' Primas, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Orchestra De Baja California, I even sub out at Del Mar Race Track as the Bugler!!!!.............. I just recorded a jingle for Taco Bell. It played during the Super Bowl. Must be my proximity to the border (LOL).
..
Add to My Profile | More Videos Taco Bell Super Bowl Commercial Ad introduces its new Fiesta Platter with a Mexican mariachi band, wearing sombreros and playing guitars. They encourage the office workers to take a break before the meeting and enjoy the Fiesta Platter. My gigs sometimes require me to travel if my family will allow it. Last year I went to Cabo San Lucas, Boise Idaho, and Santa Barabra Calif.. My ideal gig would be to go somewhere exotic and take the family. I have a jazz Gig at Pismo Beach soon. It's not that exotic but I am taking the whole family.
Who I'd like to meet:
My friend Hollis Gentry passed 9/05/06................. I would like to be on the bandstand with him again when it's my time. I miss you HG3

Thank you for your kind comment:)
glad, you like it!

If you want to do me (and yourself) a favour, you can download my songs for FREE at www.openpot.com/ingogabriel. It..s an interesting concept: The artist is paid by openpot, the user
downloads for free, he just has to watch 10 sec of commercial till the downloadbutton appears.
Have a look and don..t be bothered by the fact, that you have to create an account there, its free and doesn..t take long. You really would do me a favour:)

Peace,

Ingo
