Those of you who were with me on TM may remember one continual troublemaker and self-accqlaimed trumpet pope with the username Kurt Thompson - in TM abbreviated to KT as no one wanted to use that name because of his many, many misdemeanours... in his own estimation, he is the only real trumpet player in the world and people like Arturo or Doc are just impostors...
He's now abroad again with a spate of unpalatable videos, unter the new nickname Curt Tomson...
@kehaulani Don't worry and keep posting. I know exactly what you are going through.
@dr-go A man goes into a store and asks for mothballs, gets a 100 pack, leaves. Returns an hour later and asks for more, gets another 100, leaves. Returns another hour later, asks for mothballs, and the assistant is asking him, "Why on earth are you needing so many mothballs?" - "The bastard things are so difficult to hit!"
@richard-iii No need to bet. This is an electronic trumpet player - no doubt about it.
@georgeb Votruba in Vienna have a pristine Olds Studio - original case, original mouthpiece and original paperwork - for € 950. I can vouch for this horn because it was mine until I exchanged it for a Recording...

@barliman2001 Just found "The City of the Village of Douglas" in Michigan... population 1,200...
@barliman2001 ... and there are fourteen townships called Douglas in the US. The largest of these is in Cochise County, Arizona, with a population of 17,000...
oh, and there's two Douglases in New Zealand, both with less than 500 inhabitants, and there is one...

...asteroid of that name. I presume that recording came from there.
@bigdub Douglas Village is now part of Cork, Ireland.
Home office frustration...
The up-to-date muscle car for anti-vaxxers...
@bigdub So disappointing that those stormtroopers never hit anything!
@neal085 I don't know either of these instruments. But for a beginner, I would choose the narrower bore and the smaller mouthpiece. I started on a large bore B&H Sovereign 'bone, and it was hard work (even though I had thirty years of trumpet under my belt).
@bigdub for some reason? She had money. Lots of. Even bought - yes, bought! - Carnegie Hall for a concert...
@georgeb You should hear the B-side of this record... even worse, if possible.
