  • RE: Taps Across America 2025

    Thanks for the reminder. I forgot this last year but remembered years before. Do not want to blame an aging memory, but I have no other defense. I will do my best to make this one.

    Again, Thanks for the reminder.

    @Dr-GO you may be surprised to hear you are way off on that figure, Doc!
    I count at least 7 you have had me do. ANNNNNND I am very grateful for it, too. ( In no particular order..)

    You are correct. I stand corrected. It is just that I have so many rooms in my house, I completely forgot those rooms when counting. The Santa Fe, and Winter Farm Scene are in every day rooms that I use, and they two doggie pictures, of course they come first to mind.

    As for the boat on the ocean, that one hangs over my bed and it is a mental reconstruction of my wife and my honeymoon cruse that I related to this amazing artist and he reconstructed it perfectly... and I forgot that one in the count. Do not let my wife know or I will be in the room with Ellie's picture, also a bedroom that my Mother in Law shares when she comes for a visit with Ellie in tow.

    Saw this farm a couple of weeks ago. I have seen it probably a hundred times, but this time I saw it differently. Stopped on the side of the road and took several pics. And hereโ€™s what I came up with. Hopewell, NJ farm.![IMG_4496.jpeg](Something went wrong while parsing server response) IMG_4496.jpeg

    I love it!

    I apologize. I get about 5-10 spam user requests a day and yours may have fallen into that category. Please try again and it should work the second time.

    @administrator How does lt play?

    It's a little out-of-tune, if you get my drift.

    I've heard it's fantastic, but tough. Great for a student to earn their tuition!

    If I were not married, this would be such a cool gig. Could not even think what it would be like to be separated from my amazing wife for 6 months. In addition, I still have a steady day gig as a physician that plays pretty well.

    Now if a cruse ship line would hire me as the ships doctor AND musician, that would be an amazing career. Just wonder if my State of Ohio medical license would let me prescribe those mood enhancing drugs that would alow the audience appreciate my performances even more LOL!

    I assume they aren't on the AFM unfair list.

    Interesting you mention this. Most cruse ships are under foreign registry so not sure how the AFM would view this.

    I am honored to be a proud member of the AFM, Local 101-473. Through the AFM I have been provided recurring and continued access to musical performances, and have benefitted greatly from the perks of membership, one being getting amazing and highly affordable support to insure my horns and equipment that I carry to gigs, and store in my home.
