I don't know I just think that giving the response of "I'm feeling suicidal today," to the cashier's question "How are you?" Just doesn't seem quite right.

Ha. That is a misleading ad! I can't really control what you see, though. Thank the maker I'm not using Taboola (shudder). If you do use AdBlock, you can take comfort in knowing that only you and God know the truth!

What's fun is actually giving an honest answer to that question.

I see. I didn't realize it was in the classifieds.

Where would you prefer it to be?

@ACB do you do your valve rebuilds in house?

@Dr-GO

Would you say that the paragon of performance was when the flow of norepinephrine through the capillaries of Maynard Ferguson was at its apex? Surely his sympathetic nervous system would concur.

If you live in the United States and have a few extra minutes once a month or so, please consider joining Bugles Across America, a service organization dedicated to providing live buglers at Military Funerals and Functions. I have personally performed for several veterans' funerals, as well as a number of Veteran's Day celebrations. It is always satisfying and, occasionally, you get free food!

So, it ended like Kanstul? I know, too soon.

So...the ending was no good? I mean, I literally know nothing. I do remember watching Lost. The ending was quite a let down.

The only concern I have is copyright infringement with photos.

Physical pain never leads to good things as a trumpet player. It is not an athletic activity. When I go cycling, I expect to feel pain in my legs and I expect my cardio system to pick up significantly. If I feel no pain it means I'm not working hard enough!

This never applies to brass playing. Pain means you're done practicing!

Pressure is rarely an issue in and of itself. It's more often than not a symptom of the underlying issue. Therefore, it's hard to say what is "too much" pressure and what is not. However, if you feel any pain at all, you are probably hurting yourself. No pain no gain does not apply to trumpet playing!

As they say, "Nothing resonates like a Kanstul." I'm sure this will resonate poorly throughout the industry.

There is a "Chat" icon on the top right corner. That's the equivalent of a PM. Click on a user's profile and chat with them to communicate privately.

@bhornFree Pre-banning? Strange stuff. I'm not sure about that, but I don't care much for the format. I'm having a hard time getting this website onto Google, which can contribute to the slow growth.

I like these long tones because they remind me a lot of Stamp studies. In Stamp studies, you use the same embouchure to go down as low as possible and then back up, as high as possible.
