His siblings took up instruments, too."We all had our instruments, and we played in quartets in the town," Mr Streader said."We used to enjoy it, really."Mr Streader still gets his brass out for every big local event — including Anzac Day.Mr Streader never went to war.A serious workplace accident at 17 rendered him unfit for service."Something happened at work, and the scaffold came down on top of me, and my arm got hit with a log of timber," Mr Streader said.Doctors told him he would never be able to use it again."They told me I was no good for the army, it was all locked up, and you couldn't move it," Mr Streader said.On Anzac Day, his injured arm holds up his treasured trumpet and sounds the Last Post and the national anthem.Mr Streader said performing at dawn services made him reflect on his mates who served."Oh yes, I helped them a lot and did a lot of jobs for them," Mr Streader said."I helped them with their houses and that sort of thing."Mr Streader still plays at schools, ceremonies and services in Boort — as he has done since he was a boy."That's all."I just play anywhere it's needed at all It's a sovereign cornet, top of the range," Mr Streader said.For his son, Bryan Streader, the sound of his father's trumpet made him feel proud."It's pretty amazing," Bryan said."Everyone comments and thinks it's good for the town, which it is."A lot of them think he's getting better as he gets older, actually."Bryan watches his father get ready for the Anzac Day dawn service at the RSL every year."He's been doing it for as long as I can remember," Bryan said."This Friday he plays at the school up here at 10 o'clock, then Anzac Day at 10 o'clock Saturday morning."He likes blowing his trumpet, so that's good."
