RE: Artist on BOARD
another addition. This is from Idaho at Redfish Lake. I personally took the reference photos and did this piece as a gift for our Niece and her husband about a year ago

Bugler's Holiday from 1995
This came up on YouTube only 6 months ago. My friend came across it and posted it. So, it’s me and my friends from 28 years ago. I am on the far left, playing the third part.

RE: Artist on BOARD
ready for another one? well, here is one I recently parted with...it is a satisfying thing to have people actually want to add my paintings to their collections. Better than sitting in my studio collecting dust and not have anyone looking at them for long stretches of time!And- maybe this will cool you off a little

today I have a piece from Ketchikan Alaska where there was this scene and we even saw some Salmon trying their best to swim up this very strong current. I love attempting to re create the raging white water, and sometimes I get it, and sometimes not so much!

A scene not too far from my home. This is a small switch house originally from the Pennsylvania RR, but the "myth" that has spread about it is that it was the Bridge tender's house, I have since found out otherwise. The PRR bought the Delaware & Raritan Canal and essentially put it out of business in the early 1930s. At its peak, the D&R canal did more commerce than the Erie Canal.

Thought I would share this recent one, just to send greetings to all for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

RE: Artist on BOARD
Another one you may ask why I did. Answer: I wanted to see how it would come out.

It could be an electrifying story, that much I would guess -

RE: Cataract Surgery
I would say, ( hope I'm not repeating anyone else here…) different players, different set of precautions.
Some guys and girls look like their head is going to explode. Then there are others who you almost can’t distinguish the difference between them playing and just placing the horn on their chops.
So, depending where you fall into that group, judge accordingly. -

I heard that one out of four people are mentally disturbed.
Seems more like three out of four………to me. -

Another time Ole was driving home with his wife, Lena. A little way into the trip a police officer stops him to tell him he thought someone may have fallen out the passenger side about a half mile back. .
“Oh, boy, dats a relief!” Says Ole. “I thought maybe I had gone deaf!” -
RE: A little humour
@barliman2001
I have heard a similar Norwegian joke.
Goes like this:
Ole goes off to work one day and a shortly after arriving realizes he forgot his lunch. Gets home and calls up to his wife. “Lina, where are you?”
“ Up in the bedroom”, she says.
Ole comes in and asks, “Lena, where’s your clothes?”
“ oh, I yust have nutting to vare”
Ole goes to the closet, starts naming every thing she has,
“Look, here's your blue dress, your red dress, plaid dress, hi Sven, your white dress………” -
RE: A little humour
Also, a woman called the radio station and complained about where the deer crossing sign was put on the shoulder of the highway.
“Why did the highway department put it there? Too many deer are getting hit by cars there. They should put it in a less busy section of the highway so the deer can safely cross the road. I can’t believe they are that ignorant” -
RE: Mouthpiece issue
@j-jericho said in Mouthpiece issue:
@rowuk ... or he should use the Bach numbering system. You know... the number of high notes is stamped into the mouthpiece, along with which pitch the mouthpiece contains! For example, a 10-1/2 C enables you to play ten and one half octaves of the note "C", whereas a 2 only has two undetermined high notes available.
Now I understand completely.
Sorry for the wandering.
Back to the question, though, I think the real thing is taking your time with it, and not trying to microwave your results. More of a slow cook approach. ( I am paraphrasing what Rowuk said. He knows the deal. ) -

Pope John XIII was asked in an interview how many people worked at the Vatican.
About half of them, he answered. -

That’s some pretty crazy stuff there.
Almost as strange as the guy with the talking dog for sale…Wanna hear about it?
I take that as a yes.There was a guy driving through the low country of South Carolina when he spotted a sign in front of a run down shack that said, “Talking DAWG FER SAIL, 5 BUCKS”
He said to himself, I gotta see this, even if I don’t buy it, so he went to the front porch and asked about it.
The man sitting in the rocking chair said, yup, y’all can go right on back and see him. He ain’t gonna bite.
Man goes back and gets into a total conversation with this dog! No people were around or anything like that. The dog goes on and on about all his exploits and travels, since he could talk, of course.
Drug enforcement, he could listen in on conversations and report back to his handlers. All kinds of stuff like that.
So this fella is mighty impressed with what he heard, and wanted this dog for sure, especially because it was only 5 bucks!
He pays the man still lounging on his rocking chair and once he shakes hands on the deal, he says, “this dog is amazing! Why would you sell a dog that has accomplished all these things for so cheap!Man on the rocker says, “aww, he was just a big ol’ bald faced liar is why!”
