Sad news, Philip Biggs, editor of The Brass Herald, has passed after a short battle with cancer. He will truly be missed.

Cancer sucks! RIP Mr. Biggs

@neal085 By the way, I prefer poached. That way, the egg keeps its integrity while displaying a soft outside. And the inside is thoroughly yellow! 😉

Ive given up training Bear. He trains me;)

Training is a cooperative thing. He learns from me and I learn from him.
Different people approach dogs differently. As for me, if my dog doesn't like someone, I won't like them either because he's a far smarter and a better judge of character than I am.

@ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

Thank you... Yes, I picked up a guitar the same time I picked up trumpet. Probably for the past 50 years, both have competed for my attention.

Funny thing with the guitar (true story!) --- My sister Ginny had an old nylon string acoustic guitar in her room. I used to sneak into her room and doodle around on her guitar, trying to figure it out (no lessons, no knowledge). But one day my older sister Sue was blaring an old Cream album on her record player in her room. I heard the opening notes to "Sunshine Of Your Love", and somehow, someway, I figured out what Eric Clapton was playing on Ginny's nylon string guitar. Just then, she caught me red-handed, in her room, playing her guitar, and playing along with Eric Clapton's guitar lick -- without ever taking a lesson! I just remember her yelling at me, yanking her guitar out of my hands, smacking the {expletive} out of me, as she chased me out of her room! 😨
...my parents soon bought me my own acoustic guitar, and the rest is history!

He's pretty damn good on the violin, too.

Thank you! I will never be as good as my grandmother - she was a concert violinist in New York City back in 1914, 1915, and her violin is not only over 100 years old - it is priceless to me!

Hope things are going well. Best of luck.

@Kehaulani said in To log out:

Why do I have one blue bar on top saying Trumpetboards, followed with a bunch of icons, and then a second blue bar under it that says, "Home/Announcements/To log out"?

*note-the second bar is not permanently affixed to the title page but each forum's page. It disappears when you scroll down.

The lower blue bar is to show you where you are on the site. In your example, you were in the Announcements category. You don't need it when you're at the Home page, which just lists the cagetories. The "To Log Out" is just there as a convenience for users.

I keep putting this off, but I will do it this weekend!!
