I started a new software development gig, and my manager is Jason Harrelson. Not the trumpet maker, however. I asked him if he ever got confused with the other guy and he says "occasionally." Pretty funny!

How about: "The Three Masketeers"

Yes, that makes sense. Maybe upload a screenshot of exactly what bothers you? I imagine it would not be too hard to change. Does everyone else concur with your thoughts?

@dale-proctor said in Funny story that's sort of trumpet related...:

I sat next to John Williams in a trumpet section years ago. No, not that John Williams…lol

Oh, the guitarist? He's excellent. Didn't know that he also played trumpet.

I'm grateful just to get out of the house, sometimes. Yesterday, I was bogged down with stress and some buddies invited me to go fishing. Didn't catch anything, but it was such a relief to just leave the house for one hour.

I have played several of their models. I don't much care for the stonelined trumpets. I think their newer line (non-stonelined) are decent trumpets. Depending on the price, you can get a good horn for not much money. They were made by B&S, I'm not sure if that's still the case.

The company is based in SLC, Utah. They are primarily a saxophone maker but their trumpets are decent as well.

Nice! I expect that it goes best with my favorite road sign:

Which model is it?

2018 Alfa Romeo Stelvio Ti Sport (not Quadrofoglio, next step down)

Yes, it has been 100+ around here and my motivation seems to be inversely proportional to the temperature as of late.

Mission accomplished it is a 1997, thank you to all who made suggestions!!!

That's what we're here for.

Don't we have something like this already?

Sorry. I used to love cars. Now I hate cars. They are a necessary evil, but I just want ones that start and run reliably and drive comfortably.

Might as well make the necessary evil as enjoyable as possible.

Same tune...very different setting. Very beautiful! Definitely my favorite anthem. It's a very moving piece of music, regardless of the lyrics.

Definitely not interchangeable. I believe they are even made by different factories.

@ssmith1226 That's using your head!

Not only that, but did you notice my vintage Bach Case strapped to the back?

Very classy. I like the look of vintage motorcycles.

That sounds like the modern-day "minimalism" movement.

@dr-go said in What are you listening to?:

A medical student I was teaching just found were he matched for residency training. He was so excited but saddened that he would be leaving the Dayton area he wanted to share a memory with me from a few years back

After he finished a course I was teaching on lipid metabolism during his first year of medical school, at the end of a semester. he wanted to get back to focusing less on medicine and more on music. So he invited me over to his home and we recorded an iTunes song performed by his sister, with him putting down drum, guitar and keyboard tracks, and me on Flugelhorn.

After that session, he wanted to do a version of "Fly Me to the Moon", no music in front of us and here is what we did, unrehearsed and in one take:

I really enjoy your playing, Dr. What is that Flugelhorn you are on? I know your trumpet is a Harrelson, I do remember that.

I have some great horns in my collection. Each has its own characteristics that I love, but one stands out amongs them all, and that is the 1940 Olds Recording I added recently. Whatever kind of music, from classical to country, you want to play, the Olds just gets the job done. I know this sounds crazy, but it is as it plays itself and you are just along for the ride.

I don't think that's crazy at all. I have known several people who feel that way about them.
