@Dr-GO I cant imagine anything better than playing classic New Orleans music in a great band like the Queen City Krewe

That makes me smile inside, good luck sir.

Not so short anymore!

And not so trombone, either!

Anyway, that's a very rocking sound! Very cool, thanks for sharing.

@dr-go Can you distinguish a difference?

The difference in the amount of dust released.

Yeah, Miatas are a lot of fun, but very tiny!

Yes, in city traffic I feel like a roach who’s about to be stepped on…lol. I ride motorcycles, and it takes the same mindset to drive one of these. Here’s the view from my window at a stop light.

I'm 34 and I doubt I will ever truly "retire." I think that is a common attitude among my generation.

So, with my new perspective as I noted above, have I become a part of your generation?

Perhaps!

@SSmith1226 these guys are hilarious.

That's great, I love it!

@Trumpetb If you don't blow, it sucks.

@SSmith1226 Thank you very much!!

Oh, did you send me an e-mail with an attachment, "How an Eclipse works"?
If not, your e-mail has been hacked.

Happy Easter! I played a Good Friday service, a 3-hour rehearsal on Wednesday night, a Tenebrae service, and an Easter service. Around 10 orchestral pieces, about half of them with the choir, and uncounted hymns (luckily not playing on every verse). I’m worn out, and am taking a few days off without touching a mouthpiece to my lips.

Our orchestra played through Handel’s 'Worthy is the Lamb that was slain’ two times in a rehearsal Easter morning before the church service, and the third time, it was the last piece we played in the service. I played 1st part on my Bb trumpet. Brutal…

EDIT: I forgot to mention that I played the 1st Cornet part on Schuman’s ‘When Jesus Wept' at the Tenebrae service on Friday night. I rarely get to play cornet in our church orchestra, so it was a treat!!

@Trumpetb well said

@SSmith1226 Thanks for posting this. What a sound! I can only imagine what it was like to be there.

Too difficult to say on an online forum. Do you have a private teacher?

I didn't watch it. I was too busy watching the paint dry in my apartment. 😁

That is so cool
