And so I'm just so curious, like how did you, build those studios and like get those performing opportunities each time you had to go to a new city? And like, was it different in different cities? Was it harder in some, you know?

Yeah, that's a great question.

Yeah, I've lived in a lot of cities.

I, you know, grew up in the Chicago area, sort of played there.

uh, until grad school, then was in DC, then was in Indianapolis really briefly, uh, then was in Atlanta and now Los Angeles.

So it's been, and then various summer festivals and all that stuff.

Um, so I would say, yes, every city was a little bit different.

Did you find, um, Growing up as a woman playing the trumpet, was there a lot of, were there like issues with that when you would move to a new city or how did you manage those things?
