So sad. I always liked her Piaf-like voice.

From an old goat born in 1936, I ask the age old question: What will they think of next ?

@GeorgeB said in New book about Harry James:
I just feel trumpet players would really like this book.

And it might be. That's the thing about getting as much diverse info as you can, balances out a subject.

@neal085 said in Some Encouraging Voting News:
,,,I feel like I could run on a platform of making the trumpet our official national instrument, making it illegal to play viola in public, and maybe build National Mouthpiece Safari Parks.

These items definitely get my vote!

This trumpet only comes out at Christmas time. It might well be my favorite ornament!

Adding more technology means more chance of failure.

Agreed

And THAT never fails!

I couldn't get a gif to work, so here's an image instead:

I kept the Olds flugelhorn and Eb/D trumpet, the 3 Bachs (Bb, C, and cornet), the Conn 6B trumpet, and the 150 year old Henry Lehnert cornet. In addition to those, I now have an 1890 English Besson A/Bb/C cornet and a 1962 Conn 9A Victor cornet. I suppose that makes 9 cornets & trumpets total, plus the 3 bugles. Two of the bugles are just bookcase ornaments in the den, though - the Kanstul is the only one I ever play, and that’s just for the occasional sounding of Taps.

@kehaulani said in Does ROWUK have a TH pseudonym?:

Can anyone tell me if ROWUK posts with a different Pseudonym/avatar on Trumpet Herald, or has he just given up on internet forums, as a whole? Thanks.

He had some kind of German name, I think I read on TM years back.

@kehaulani said in I found my way back... Sorry, it's been so long!:

I've been battling with some very serious sight issues. Only have about 30% of my vision. at the moment. A spin-off is I can't play because of eye pressure. Can't write 'cause can't see well and no bands to conduct because of Covid. So - next to nothing. Yea it sucketh mightily.

Sorry man😠 😠

320kbps MP3. Respectable sound for a free download! I wonder if the original recording has better sound?

Thanks Dale for the link!

Update: The credit card charge reversals posted yesterday. This WWBW story is an illustration of potential vs. reality. They had a great sales model which they just did not fulfill - for a number of reasons.
