Still, I have discovered something weird. My four-month old son, Otto has tried out several brands of nappies. One of them has cuddly animals, stars and... a trumpet! Why is it that of all instruments, a trumpet has a place of honour on my son's body?
Suggestions? I can't wait.

Duke Ellington probably recorded what will be the ultimate version of Irving Berlin's "Trumpet No End", featuring the remarkable trumpet player Cat Anderson. Considering his stratospheric escapades, he may have worn nappies. Maybe even with a trumpet on them.
