Meet the Horn Man!

In

Bill Nemoyten was a music educator for most of his life. So why would that change when he retired? Instead, he bought an RV, packed up his wife and his collection of 16 different types of horns and set out from his home in the San Francisco Bay Area on a never-ending mission to share his passion for horns with anyone who will listen. Now, he is known far and wide as… The Horn Man!

Not only is he finding an audience, he’s delighting them! And now, in his 80s, he’s living a richer, fuller life than he ever expected! 

We want to say a special thank you to Bill’s daughter Jo, of Foolish Tree Films who not only introduced us to Bill, but actually shot the video used in the story! You can contact the Horn Man, and learn more about him by visiting his website.
