Oh, man, hard to beat that one...
Thanks. I put quite a bit of effort into it, that’s for sure.
I had to go on YouTube, find it, and copy the link, and then maneuver it yonder to here on this here site.
I’m practically exhausted just describing my efforts, here.
Don’t answer right away, George. An old fella like me has to rest up a bit now.
@ButchA
I am sad to say there are some folks who like both the Mets and the Yankees.....in my mind, I agree with you, Butch, if you are a true met fan, you should really hate the Yankees.
Historically, there were no bigger Yankee haters than were Brooklyn Dodger Fans, with good reason! Yankees beat the, in the series far too many times! My Dad was a life long Brooklyn Dodger fan and never recovered when they moved to LA. He never once showed a liking for them and couldn’t seem to land on any other team to like. He became sort of a Cubs fan, since they seemed to have a similar fate with World Series failure and such. I usually tell people that I have two favorite teams: the Mets, and anyone who happens to be playing the Yankees on a given day! I actually had an opportunity to go to a Yankees pre game locker room chapel service. I did not avail myself of such an opportunity. I felt I would feel as though I was being a total phony and would feel as though I betrayed my beloved Mets.
I would call the trumpet I started out on a no name hand me down. That is not figurative, it actually had no name engraved anywhere on it. Not that it was the problem, but yet I believe no company would want to embarrass themselves by putting their name on it. Piece of garbage would not be an exaggeration. I think it held me back for sure. Only when I started up again in 8th grade did my parents buy me the Sears Silvertone ( Blessing Super Artist ) did I make serious progress.

Where is Peabody?
This is Sherman:
AND HERE is Peabody:
Peabody is in Baltimore, Md. it is the music school part of Johns Hopkins University. Very good school, I believe. Our lead trumpet player in my band is a graduate Trumpet Major from there.

I would think that, according to screen Guild policies, she is in an acting role in which she sings. I'm sure that she was being represented as an actress.
Douglas was, obviously, being represented by the Screen Actors Guild which, as has been shown, couldn't care less that a musician was being accurately portrayed.
I get it, sure, but do I like it, no. No one asked me, that is for sure.
One interesting thing about how far Hollywood will go to use their chosen actor no matter how qualified or not was for the movie about Lou Gehrig, The Pride Of The Yankees, where they had Gary Cooper picked for the role of Lou Gehrig. He could convincingly swing the bat, but the only problem was his swing was from the right side of the plate, and not left handed. I understand they went to all the trouble to film him swinging right handed and reversing everything in the entire stadium, bases were backwards, signs and advertisements were backwards- everything. Mirror image. Just so they could have their star Gary Cooper play Lou Gehrig!
Here’s another interesting part: Babe Ruth played himself.
They were smart enough to know no one would believe it if someone else played him?

The following are two multitrack recordings that I put together encompassing about 10 trumpet parts and four MIDI Parts (Strings, Harp, Piano, and Bass Guitar). I played the Tuba part on trumpet and lowered it one octave on Garage Band and then lowered that track another octave. All three tracks can be heard.
The first piece is Pachelbel’s Canon. The second piece I call “Memories of Palchelbel”. It consists of Palchelbel’s Canon incorporating Maroon 5’s “Memories”. I previously posted a version of “Memories” performed by a children’s choir.
On January 20, I completed Pachelbel’s Canon and coincidently celebrated five year anniversary of my comeback.Pachelbel’s Canon

Way to go! Fantastic, Steve. That was a lot of work, but fun, wasn’t it?
Very nice! Loved it.

I took a moment to get it too - a few seconds, but then again, I'm only 62
Well, I’m 67 and I don’t know what anyone is talking about....just kidding. I got it as soon as I saw it. Maybe it’s better to be a little older. I remember when the song was playing on the radio!

Haha, good one, Ivan! I am a proud owner of one of these books. Thanks! I also STILL love your mouthpiece. It’s not going anywhere.

Isn’t it great that we have 50 entirely different states, none of which represents the country in and of themselves?
Wasn't it 57 states in the previous administration?
I don’t know about that, but I forgot that 49 States are in agreement on one thing: all 49 hate New Jersey. 
@Dr-GO said in Phony players:
Just to be clear BigDub, I am giving you approval to play me in the next full length feature about me.
But that would be the exceptional situation where the actor would be able to surpass the playing skill of the person he was portraying........that would be like Wayne Bergeron playing me. just kidding. Calm yourself

(Sung) "Strangler in the Night."
I used to end a lot of dance jobs with this. Audience loved it . . I hated it. Musical whoredom. I'll do almost anything if it keeps the wolf from the door.
Though all of your opinions matter, sometimes, I didn’t ask if anyone liked it or what your opinion of the song was in this case. In fact, my classmates and I didn’t much care for it either. That wasn’t my point.
My point was.......I had things happen in HS and they went right over my head.
Similar to now, I guess.
@trickg
Never. Watched. One. Episode. Or clip. Or preview.
And yet, I feel fulfilled in life.
@ssmith1226
Or a Sears, Roebuck Catalog trumpet, as did I.

49 + New Jersey = 50!
On the show, Hogan’s Heroes, Colonel Klink Would occasionally play the violin, much to the discomfort of those who happened to be in the same room.
He looked rather convincing, but if you looked closely, there weren’t even any strings on the instrument!

I actually like playing Strangers In The Night, but I skip the Dooby dooby dooo at the end.
I sing Strangers In The Night if I first partake of some Dobby dooby dooos just prior to said song breakout...
This is of course legal in Colorado... and of more recent, New Jersey, as BigDub probably knows.... and perhaps, we may see more abstract art offerings from BigDub as a result, yes?
Well, if I was so inclined, there would probably be a lot less productivity.
As far as playing Strangers in The Night, I seem to end up playing more TO strangers in the night. They haven’t heard me play yet, so I can surprise them at least until they can escape for the exit

So much for autocorrect.
Often auto, not so often, correct.

People buy Jaeger trumpets from me.
And mouthpieces too
@ssmith1226
Actually it was made by Blessing, in Elkhart, Indiana, and people who are in the know have told me that it was equivalent to the Super Artist model. I just donated it last June to a school district in Western Idaho for some youngster to learn on as well.
Administrator: I couldn’t do a message to you in the normal way, so this is why I tell you here.
I just got an email from GeorgeB. He says he is locked out and cannot log in or anything. I had a similar problem but it worked itself out somehow. Could you please see if you can help him with that
