tiger belle Posted April 29, 2010 #26 Share Posted April 29, 2010 well, dang...I had to sail before I saw the pic posted or saw your name, Matt...I only saw two trumpet players in the show band--one was a woman, and even though I didn't sit very near the front, I believe the male trumpet player was Ian, whose pic you posted...because I hadn't seen the subsequent posts, I was too shy to go up to him and assume he was Ian...if I had seen the post about the contest, though, I definitely would have been "in" :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn work hindering things! He posted on FB that he got sunburnt in Cozumel...somehow he forgot that I told him that the sun is killer there.

MZ COLSTON Posted April 29, 2010 #28 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Any new takers? Hopefully we can get a few in before I meet up with him in Cozumel on June 3. (the May 31st Triumph sailing) My family and I will be on the May 31st sailing. I will have to look for Ian.;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtruddoh Posted May 3, 2010 Author #30 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Just got the first official word of someone saying hi to him. Direct from Facebook "So maybe you should explain to me why two people came up to the pit after my show tonight and said "Matt Rudd told us to say hi to you" lol what the heck?" Good job to the first 2. I won't tell him for a while. Keep it up. It would be awesome every sailing that he gets a "Hi". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinwithdad Posted May 3, 2010 #31 Share Posted May 3, 2010 This is greatness! We sail June 12 and will definitely say "Hi" to Ian. This is after you meet up with him, so by then I am sure he will know what is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

75Vette Posted May 18, 2010 #38 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Hello, Don & I went up to the pit and told Ian Matt Rudd said to say Hi! His expression was priceless. He said "No Way". We told him oh yes, and you had told us the two of you had been friends since you were 7 years old. He really got interested and told us a bit about you too. When the band had a 3 hour performance in one of the lounges we talked to him again and requested a picture with us. He said he had sent you an e-mail about strangers coming up and introducing themselves and you hadn't replied. Real nice guy and a good trumpet player. Really enjoyed listening to him. Here is your picture. This was a lot of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiger belle Posted May 19, 2010 #43 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I am supposed to be back on the Triumph in December...if he is still on board, I will say "hi" to him...by then, though, I am sure he will be tired of all the "hellos" from strangers :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBee Posted May 20, 2010 #44 Share Posted May 20, 2010 My family will be on the July 5th sailing. I am a musician myself, and always try to chat with the ship musicians whenever I get a chance. This will be fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
