Ryan Anthony, phone interview, August 8, 2019

Everyone in the trumpet world has a common bond with the trumpet, but in the last few years the community has become tighter, more focused, and more supportive as a result of the Ryan Anthony Foundation and Cancer Blows. Ryan talks about his illness, the toll that it has taken on him, and the hope that remains every day. You’ll hear him talk about some very serious issues with cancer, and we talk a bit about trumpet, too. If ever there was an inspirational figure, Ryan is it.
