Sweet Auburn Trumpets
by Walker Pickering

Stacy and I drove down to the Sweet Auburn neighborhood on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. It was a surreal experience, especially after all of the specials on the History Channel.
So these four guys were playing back and forth in pairs down the street from the Ebenezer Baptist Church where Dr. King grew up and was a pastor. As we got down there, they were putting away their horns and they noticed my camera. They were willing to play a little more for a few shots, and all of the traffic on the sidewalk waited until we were finished.

Great that they wanted to perform for you and you did them proud…..super shot. Phil
