Yep, booted the flute. I typically find it difficult to enjoy that instrument.

Could not eliminate the flute. Goes back to high school when member of the flute section wore tight sweaters during the winter months... so am a bit biased by fondled mammarys.

Hi, Patrick, nice to hear you are getting to play during these difficult times.

...However, for some people, practicing the horn is a drug and their dragon is figuring out how some piece or piece of a song goes.

After 10,000 hours of practicing, I am dragon!

@ssmith1226

Thanks for that. I really enjoyed it.

Re: You know "those moments"?

Deliberately not replying to any post in particular, one or two of our members may benefit from a little background info on the St Petersburg/Leningrad Philharmonic.

Scroll down to the relevant section starting page 134.

Other than the during the siege, it seems that members of the orchestra had both the means and opportunities to obtain in principle, any instrument they needed.

My recipe is being ready when luck comes by my way.

@kehaulani

Seems like you did it all, kehaulani. That's a lot of great memories.
I can't play as well anymore either, but I have great memories of all the gigs I enjoyed with my 5 piece band during the 50's/60's.

Does the moon really rise? I've never used that phrase.

"The moon has risen."
"It is risen indeed."

That would be exceptionally tough for the trumpet, trying to remember whether you should be playing C, E or G. 😁

Fortunately for them, their choices were limited by their Natural Trumpets.
