    • RE: Seeking input on Rules

      Keep it simple - no profanity, no name calling, nothing unrelated to trumpets/cornets/flugelhorns/etc. and musical topics in general. That gives topics a pretty wide latitude without excessive rules. Be civil to your fellow members if there’s a disagreement on some point, and keep things PG in case younger people are looking in.

    • Railroad Photography

      Anyone here into photographing railroad subjects? Years ago, I was interested in both photography and trains, and took a lot of photos of them, mostly with an old Miranda 35mm camera. I still like photography, but I don’t chase trains any more...lol

      Anyway, to get things started, I’ll post a few of the ones I’ve taken for any who are interested. Feel free to post any you have taken, but please don’t post generic pics found on the net.

      I found a copy of American Drummer Boy on Ebay. Love civil war stuff.....

      I ran across this screen shot of me playing Eb cornet in the movie. That’s me on the end by the stair. ☺

      Hope you all have a happy and safe upcoming 4th, even those of you in other countries. Here’s a photo I took a number of years ago that is appropriate. ☺

      It looks very nice. Do you have a big crop of cicadas this year?

      Thanks! Not nearly as many this year so far. Lots of katydids though.

    • RE: The Sounds of Silence

      Speaking of yard work, my wife and I spent about 30 hours replacing rotting wooden landscape timbers at the rear of the house with stone borders, as well as moving some plants and providing shallow steps from the yard to one of the bird baths. We redid a smaller natural area in the front yard, too. The total was about 225 stones. Yeah, we’re retired too…lol

    • RE: C. G. Conn Club

      I took a new photo of my 1960 Conn 6B Victor, and included its case in the photo. The trumpet is in excellent original condition, and it’s just like the one I played in high school. I bought it on eBay years ago for $300 just for nostalgia, but it does play well. Not for sale, BTW…

    • RE: Band Chagrin...

      Sorry to hear how they treated you. I can empathize with you, since I was moved around on trumpet seats in a local semi-professional symphony orchestra years ago to make room for someone who didn’t really want to be there. I had to re-audition for my seat (3rd trumpet), which had never happened to anyone, and “lost” to the reluctant player, who was a jazz player. There were 3 judges at the audition, and two told me privately they had voted for me. So, I became 4th trumpet and rarely got to play.

      The few union members of the orchestra, one of which was my replacement, went on strike for more money, and I was notified I’d be playing 3rd part in the next concert. With the assurance I would play the concert even if the strike was settled beforehand, I played all the rehearsals. The strike was settled about a week before the concert and guess what…I was replaced with the striker.

      Summer came and as was the norm, I was contacted by the symphony manager, along with everyone else, to confirm we would be back for the next season, and I affirmed I would. The next season rolled around and I wasn’t notified I’d be playing the first concert, so as usual, there was no 4th part. I ran into the 1st trumpet at a restaurant a month or two later and he asked why I didn’t play the concert. It seems they played a piece that also required off stage trumpets, and local high school kids were hired to play those parts.

      The symphony personnel manager received my scathing resignation letter a few days later, and I’m sorry I stuck around as long as I did.

      @Shifty said in Oiling trumpet:

      @Dr-GO
      I had a co-worker who went through college on a band scholarship. He said their entire trumpet section used STP as a slide lubricant.

      I can’t imagine that working unless they thinned it out with some other oil. STP is as thick and stringy as honey.

    • RE: Vintage Horn Eye Candy

      Not much eye candy here, but I just ran across photos of a couple late 1960s trumpets I used to own. The first is a Conn 22B Victor, and the second is a Conn 15B Director.
