This past Friday, Carlton Wood was out on the 300 block of South Elm Street playing trumpet. Originally from Roxboro, Carlton has played music all the way from San Diego to New Orleans and back. He has quite a repertoire of songs, and especially likes to play New Orleans style. He has written a gospel song that he hopes to get published. He also does impressions and is especially good with his Kermit the Frog voice.

Part of the fun of traversing Elm Street on the weekends is meeting people like Carlton. His dream is to make it big on Instagram and hopes to get an account soon. Maybe he will be playing downtown this weekend.  If you see him, please request a few tunes and cheer him on. Happy Tuesday!
