Rice went to be with the Lord ), Michael became a member of Moody Press Author Dale Crawshaw's church in Lawrenceville, Ga. It was while a member of that church that Michael met Rev. Dickie Hill .While praying with Pastor Hill, Michael told him " I have played the trumpet for the world, and the world does not satisfy". It was then that Michael accepted his call to preach and to play the trumpet for Jesus. Michael soon became a member of the Florida Bible College Brass Ensemble where he studied music under Hartley Cruver ( who became well known for his popular little monkey puppet trumpet playing helper, Rev. Cruver taught Michael how to use puppets to help him play his trumpet. Ask Michael about the unique option of using puppets to help him play his trumpet in your church) , and beloved Billy Graham Revival soloist Strett Shufelt.

You just load up the page with lots of mediocre African American trumpet players, but you refuse to put the white Christian trumpet players on it like Dan Oxley, Dr. Michael E. Schmidt and Phil Driscoll. Then you erase my discussion comments because you know I am right.
