Merideth Willson, composer of "The Music Man" and former member of the Sousa Band, told us this story some years ago when he was guest speaker at a college band banquet: There was a new trumpet player in the band who could triple-tongue better than anyone. Nobody could figure out how he had learned the technique so well at such a tender age, until somebody asked him where he was from. "Naugatuck Connecticut" was his reply.
