There’s a grim joke that musicians tell.
Antoine Williamson, a Chattanooga jazz trumpeter, knows it well.
“What’s the difference between a musician and a park bench?” Williamson said. “A park bench can support a family of four.”
The point: Trying to make a living as an instrumentalist is a big ask – doubly so if your instrument of choice happens to be made of brass.
Still, Williamson, 46, is giving it a go.
