Send us Fan MailBrad FitchBoth of Brad Fitch’s parents were musicians as he grew up. His mom would sit him down and let him listen to kids’ records, and he adored them. He loved analyzing what instruments made which sounds on the records, and he realized early on he had a knack for memorizing lyrics.At the age of six, he was introduced to the treble and bass clefs for the first time during piano lessons. In fifth grade, when he was eligible to join the school band, he decided to play the trombone, inspired by the song “Seventy-Six Trombones” from the classic 1962 movie adaptation of the Broadway show The Music Man.Our theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner.
