Twins Ezra and Adeev Potash were not musical prodigies. They didn’t start playing a musical instrument when all their grade school friends did. They picked up the trumpet and trombone in sixth or seventh grade. They don’t quite remember. And they didn’t come from a musical family. “Our dad is tone deaf,” Ezra said.
