Can we just take a moment

And talk about how sexy of an instrument the trumpet is?
Like seriously, you don't think about it usually, but holy freakin cow. Trumpets are sexy. I mean, I decided this a couple of years back, but I was recently reminded of this fact.
Trumpets and be really energetic, loud, exciting instrument, but they can also be soft and sultry. It's also one of those golden instruments that's not to overly used (like the piano or guitar or drums) that has such a specific sound and can still be incorporated in so many different genres flawlessly.
You wanna know the reason I find the trumpet sexy?
Herb Alpert
Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass
I love them so much. And I bet you've heard at least one of his songs without realizing it. Like he did so many songs for the Dating game. Whipped Cream (x), Ladyfingers (x), Lemon Tree (x), Spanish flea (x). All used in the Dating game. And then you have songs like the Lonely bull (x) and Marching through Madrid (x) and the Mexican Shuffle (x), that are so Latin but yet, I would consider this some real American music and ugh, I don't know, I don't even, I love the songs so much for some reason. He's also did Love Potion #9 (x). I mean, he had a whole album of songs named after food called Whipped Cream and Other Delights. How cool is that? He did some music for James Bond Casino Royale (the original) (x). Not to mention I think he was very handsome when he was younger.
But that's besides the point haha.
But yeah. I just wanted to say I love the trumpet and this guy's music. I had to tell someone, and you're the only person I can think of who might actually appreciate to a degree.
But yeah
Trumpets
They are sexy.
That is all.
