      That sounds like the Scotsmans Breakfast. It consists of one large steak, a Border Collie and a bottle of whiskey.

      The Collie gets the steak.

          When I first got to Germany, I was doing some Christmas shopping and a department store had some rum balls sitting out as samples. I took one. It almost knocked the top of my head off. This can be some serious stuff.

          p.s. . . . could you pass a few over here? 😁

                    @GeorgeB ,

                    I could check and see about sending a batch up to you. I don't know if they'd get intercepted by Canadian Post Office Customs though. LOL... Heck, they'd probably keep the package for themselves! 😁

                    1967 Holton Collegiate Trumpet --> my grade school band trumpet. I just can't part with it!
                    1975 Olds Ambassador Cornet --> my new/used eBay special. Sounds great!
                    2018 Regiment WI-800 Bugle --> my inexpensive Chinese made bugle from Amazon.

                      I guarantee they'd never make it here, Butch. Canadians love their rum...especially those custom duty officers. ☺

                      BTW, I had a boring sober Christmas day with my 86 year old sister who doesn't drink. But she loves to hear me play the trumpet so I played a few songs she likes and that helped liven things up a bit...especially Jingle Bell Rock... ha ha !

                        Not a problem... Glad you had a nice Christmas and played your trumpet. Jingle Bell Rock is always fun to play. We (the Shriners Band) play that all the time during Christmas concerts and during a chilly Christmas parade, riding in our float.

                        I spent the day (and evening) trying to figure out a new guitar amplifier. My wife, daughter, and son-in-law, all chipped in and got me a huge 100 watt guitar amp with so many bells & whistles on it, I have to read the owners manual! The best part is the main power output is switchable, so you won't blow the roof off your house, or cause the neighbors to call the cops, ha ha... It has a switch that goes from 100 watts to 50 watts to as little as 5 watts, so you could play with all the power and intensity of a live rock 'n roll concert, but it's only at 5 watts and at normal room volume. My wife loves that idea! ha ha ha...
                        It is one of those high tech, fully integrated, guitar amplifiers, where everything is built in. It even has a USB port of the back to connect to a computer and download sound settings to it! You can't simply pick up a guitar and plug in and start playing "That'll Be The Day" by Buddy Holly, with a simple volume, treble, bass controls. This thing has so many knobs, push buttons, switches, etc... I am still scratching my head, looking at it and saying, "wait a minute... WHAT?!?" 😁

                          @ButchA What amp is it? I got my husband some exotic wood picks and found a really neat old Sears toy guitar for a wall hanger. It actually plays and takes real acoustic strings, but the action is so ridiculously high that it’s difficult to play! No trussrod - whole thing is molded plastic.
                          This weekend I turn my attention to the real guitars waiting for me - got some shielding to install as well as some new strings and action set ups.

                          Daily players: Adams A1, A4LT, F2 flugel , CN1 cornet.

                                Here's a hilarious You Tube video I made once I plugged into the amp and started reading the owners manual. It's a BOSS KATANA ARTIST 1x12 massive 100 watt amp!

                                Warning: The last few amp settings are not for the faint of heart. You'll hear some vicious heavy metal guitar tones!

                                        Jingle Bell Rock is always fun to play. We (the Shriners Band) play that all the time during Christmas concerts and during a chilly Christmas parade, riding in our float.

                                        Yeah, it was part of a medley we did during our nursing home Christmas tour. They were dancing in their chairs.

                                          Here's a hilarious You Tube video I made once I plugged into the amp and started reading the owners manual. It's a BOSS KATANA ARTIST 1x12 massive 100 watt amp!

                                          Warning: The last few amp settings are not for the faint of heart. You'll hear some vicious heavy metal guitar tones!

                                          Now, that’s a β€œsaving grace” type of mouthpiece!!! Does it come in 7c, and where can you get one?

                                            @ButchA Methinks you're not a stranger to electric guitar. World class licks there, my friend!

                                            Thank you... Yes, I picked up a guitar the same time I picked up trumpet. Probably for the past 50 years, both have competed for my attention.

                                            Funny thing with the guitar (true story!) --- My sister Ginny had an old nylon string acoustic guitar in her room. I used to sneak into her room and doodle around on her guitar, trying to figure it out (no lessons, no knowledge). But one day my older sister Sue was blaring an old Cream album on her record player in her room. I heard the opening notes to "Sunshine Of Your Love", and somehow, someway, I figured out what Eric Clapton was playing on Ginny's nylon string guitar. Just then, she caught me red-handed, in her room, playing her guitar, and playing along with Eric Clapton's guitar lick -- without ever taking a lesson! I just remember her yelling at me, yanking her guitar out of my hands, smacking the {expletive} out of me, as she chased me out of her room! 😨
                                            ...my parents soon bought me my own acoustic guitar, and the rest is history!

                                            He's pretty damn good on the violin, too.

                                            Thank you! I will never be as good as my grandmother - she was a concert violinist in New York City back in 1914, 1915, and her violin is not only over 100 years old - it is priceless to me!

                                            1967 Holton Collegiate Trumpet --> my grade school band trumpet. I just can't part with it!
                                            1975 Olds Ambassador Cornet --> my new/used eBay special. Sounds great!
                                            2018 Regiment WI-800 Bugle --> my inexpensive Chinese made bugle from Amazon.
