This is not me.

I don't play trumpet.

This was THE famous Chet Baker. Brilliant, magnificent jazz musician and vocalist still recognized and loved, known for major innovations in cool jazz. He became "Prince of Cool," with his iconic “My Funny Valentine.”

The only thing we share is a name, CHET BAKER.

You see, I play pickleball and golf in Colorado. I also write fiction, books, and short stories. My writing has a dark disposition, which I might suggest is a distant connection to the tragic end to the famous musician’s life.
