Host/Narrator

When my band started to do bigger concerts, we added a horn section and Scotty was my trumpet player for many years.

Best trumpet player, Mr. Scott Sessions.

He loved live performances.

Scott loved being up on stage.

He loved being part of a group of musicians.

Scott was always known to be reliable, so it stunned his friends and bandmates when he didn't show up for his sold-out concert.

It was Tuesday morning.

I get a call from George Gray, and I said, hey, Scott didn't make it to the gig last night.

And he said, well, that's strange.

Turns out that's not the only thing he missed.

They had made plans to go see his mom.

His mom wasn't doing well with her health.

And he thought maybe he just slept in.

I said, I'm going to go over to his house and see if he's OK.

And George said, I'm really worried about him.

Something might have happened.

His father met me there.

So I checked in the garage and Scotty's car was not there.

Scott was very particular about taking care of his cat.

It was the one thing that could get him to leave a party is if his cat needed attention.
