Kurt Zimmerman - The Horn's Dylan
You may know this already. In case you don't, Bob Dylan's real name/original name/birth name isn't Bob Dylan. It's Robert Zimmerman. And the former Mr. Zimmerman changed the music world with his lyrics, his style, his willingness to be different. Your YouChoose Band has its own Dylan. His name is Kurt Zimmerman. And he plays trumpet. If you want, you can call him Kurt Dylan. Or just Dylan. He won't answer to it. He may smile just the same.
"Well," you start to say before finishing, "what does your 'Dylan' do?"
Oh, let us tell you. He changes the world. Or at least, our Dylan - Kurt Zimmernan - has changed our world. As a member of The Hanover Horns, Kurt, Christian Orrico and Russell Ford have flipped your YouChoose Band from being a typical, neighborhood cover band to becoming superheroes in the world of effective charitable fundraising. "What on Earth does that mean?" you question, scratching your armpit because you haven't bathed in up to 4 hours. It means our Dylan, and The Hanover Horns, have made us not just be a better band, but want to be a better band.
Enough about us. What about Kurt? Here's some special biographical information on the child:
