Dzubay recalls: I took a few piano lessons from my mother when I was six, learned Blowin’ in the Wind on guitar in 4th grade, and switched to violin in 5th grade (that only lasted two weeks – I didn’t like that they would not let us sit down while playing). But, when my Uncle John gave me a cornet in the summer of 1974 in Wisconsin, I was hooked! I played Three Blind Mice in the VW bus all the way back to Portland, Oregon.
