Thanks for the link, Doc.

'39, '42, whatever, doesn't matter to me all that much. My understanding is that the early years of the Recordings were the best and it looks like I now own one of them.

@kehaulani

Thank you. Will do.

@barliman2001

Hope you gets lots of enjoyable hours playing it.

I know I'm coming into this post late but here goes, anyway.

I recently had a trumpet with detached braces and a missing pinky finger ring. What worked best for me was wrapping very wet rags around the tubes on each side of the soldering points.

Or at least roast marshmallows…

@bigdub I tried to play this but got the message you are potentially dangerous and risky so my security would not allow me to play. I guess my question is... Are You?

to you? nah. Unless the playing causes permanent hearing damage, then, well..........

@barliman2001 said in Olds Recording:

@administrator Only four or five months ago, I scored an almost pristine 1938 recording - one of the few horns I've ever had where I've had the feeling that the horn knows beforehand what I'm trying to do, and simply does it...

Good to know. I can really use all the help I can get.

@dr-go
You didn't have to tell me that was you, Doc. The older you get the more to start to look like Doc Severinsen. Question now is will you still be playing into your 90's ????? 😁

I met Joe Hetman when he came and played a concert with my community band as a sub. I had only a brief conversation about his oil and said I would be interested in getting some from him. That was it. No further contact. One of our next gigs, another trumpet player drops a brown paper bag down on my lap, saying his friend Joe Hetman wanted you to have this. A bottle of valve oil, ( the correct number that I needed, by the way) a bottle of slide oil, and a bottle of slide grease.
All this, having only had that one conversation with me.
Nice guy, but not the end of the story. Later on, at a Chris Botti concert in New Brunswick, as I was leaving, someone says, “hey, Wayne, how are you doing?” And when he sees my blank look, says, “ Joe, Joe Hetman” I tried to quickly recover, and apologized profusely for forgetting who he was, but it had been a couple of years, after all.
Imagine that? He must have some memory, and that is why I think he is a genuinely great guy. I do like his valve oil regardless of that fact.

@kehaulani A common misconception... many players believe in buzzing their lips without mouthpiece or instrument... good for some, but usually not really convincing for others.

Cat... the other white meat. Tastes like chicken!

Watching you do that painting brought back memories of when I used to play around with watercolors. If there are any other artist members here they will learn a lot watching that video.
By the way, GREAT PAINTING !
George

Thank you George! And thanks for watching. I appreciate that you did.

@bigdub

Ha ha, you are correct. But I think they'd make an exception for an old goat like me....😊

For you, definitely.

@kehaulani
Thanks!

Well, I must be the number one driver in NJ as indicated by the single finger raised in my direction. What else could it be?

That's O.K. the supreme court will see to it that you are very familiar with that word.

@j-jericho

That was great fun. I grew up watching those old musicals and thought I was in love with Vera Ellen and her gorgeous legs. Gene Kelly was definitely America's best athletic dancer and proves by some of the scenes in this video. Lot of hard work must have went into editing all those scenes to match the rhythm of Jackson's song. Just proves that music taste can change but rhythm never changes.

The spam from Spain is plainly just a pain.

There. That's better.
