THE HORN

Let me tell you, Joe is someone who knows how to blow his own horn. In this case, the horn did not belong to him until recently. It belonged to his Grandfather. He use it to hunt fox. He was an avid fox hunter having six foxhounds to help with the task. The horn was given to Joe by his cousin Hank.

I guess knowing that we have a passion for family and passing on history, Joe was the obvious choice for ownership. The horn, made from a bulls horn. Polished smooth by years of handling.
Giving it his best shot. He was told by his aunt how to blow it, but without a demonstration we don't really know if it is right. Hopefully one day he will get it down and be able to keep passing an a bit of the past.
