My inspiration is my father, Johnny Frosk, one of the best 1^st trumpet players in the world.  He passed on December 10th. He was always a humble man.  He didn’t talk about his work often.  Now most people know his music, but don’t know it was him. So after his passing, we cleaned out his house.  We learned he was also a historian, documenting and keeping artifacts throughout his 7-decade career working with the greatest musicians and artists of his time. He used to keep these date books.  They are pocket sized annual calendar books that he probably got for free at his bank.  This is how he managed his business.  He kept these books in his pants pocket every day. He wrote down every recording and the amounts paid for 58 years in a row.  That’s over 21,000 days. 

So, after he passed, we read through the date books to find incredible details about historic musical events that we never knew about. It’s really fascinating reading. Then for my sister on her birthday.  I designed an image of what Dad did on the day she was born and how much he got paid and framed it for her. She loved it.  I told her I could do this all day.  So, on that day the idea of sharing music history for people’s birthdays was born.
