Trumpet Buttons
Have you offended someone? Need to mend a botched relationship? Having trouble saying sorry?
Well, we can help!
In celebration of the debut of Danielson’s “Did I Step On Your Trumpet” and the anticipation of the “Ships” project, the folks here at Sounds Familyre / Danielson headquarters are offering the world a new way to say “I’m sorry.”
Here’s how it works:
- You write a personalized note on a 3 x 5 card to the person you’ve offended. Please begin with “I’m sorry, did I step on your trumpet?”
- Place the card into an unsealed envelope, with the appropriate postage and addressed to the person you may have offended.
- Place that envelope into another envelope addressed to:
Did I Step on Your Trumpet?
c/o Sounds Familyre
P.O. Box 225
Clarksboro, NJ 08020 - Mail it to us.
Upon receipt, we’ll place one of our “Did I Step on Your Trumpet” buttons (lovingly handicrafted by Daniel Smith) into the envelope and forward it to the person whose trumpet was stepped upon.
If you don’t have any current “ships” to mend, but would like a button so you are prepared next time you step on a trumpet, please feel free to send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the address above.
You can also post a public apology as a comment at Danielson HQ, and email your friend a link to view the apology and hear the song!
Regardless of how you choose to apologize, we’re sure that it won’t be long until you hear from your friend forgiving you and saying “thank you, for our ship has been mended.”

I did once accidentally push a music stand into the bell of another’s french horn, closing it partially…but I don’t have her address anymore… can I have a button anyway?

That’s a fine and fancy idea, Daniel Smith. Sometimes I think you might be too nice. Some kind of global super-ego. How do you sleep at night?
Much Love

P.S. I may have swung back on my chair too much in concert band practice. Now I’m lazy.
