We have all heard the scientific fact that 90% of your body's heat is lost through the top of your head. At least that’s what I thought I heard.
Well, I’m here to tell you, when I went outside to try it in this morning’s 13° air with a pair of gym shorts and a good warm hat, I did not feel 90% warm. I would say I didn’t even feel 10% warm. Just so you know:
Fair warning. Do not attempt.

Nice Belt!
Good one. But what’s a modal?
Ole decided to buy a book for his plane flight to Minnesota, so to save money he decided to go to a used book store.
He was so thrilled to find a mint condition leather bound looking book with gold piping beauty titled “ How to Hug “- for only a dollar!
Wow, he thought, I better pay for this before they figure out it was labeled wrong! He figured he could always use some tips on how to hug. Who wouldn’t?
He brought it on the flight and started to read it.
The person sitting next to him saw it and said, “hey, man, how come you're reading the 8th volume of the encyclopedia?”
@ssmith1226 said in Trumpet Board Remote Performance:
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 think the first two semesters of pharmacist school are reading illegible handwriting 101-102.
I'm not sure if I should say hello, call the police, or bring her back to the Louvre.

We geniuses should know better than to waste our time trying to stare at these visual puzzles and finally figure out there are differences all over the place!
I'm still on this thread looking for these puzzles!
Another genius thus occupied.
@ssmith1226 said in A little humour:
Sorry! Maybe this will put the humor back into it:
Why does a chicken coop have two doors?Because if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan!

2 is diffrrent.
Other than every chicken “is different”, number three has been colored in, but number 2 has three toes on its right foot, while the others do not.
I stand with number 2 is different ( not “diffrrent”)
Well, now that just takes the humor right out of the equation now, doesn’t it?
Haha. Also, number 7 has its eyeball looking up, and 3, besides me coloring it in has fewer tail feather divisions.
I think the genius is to realize you don’t want to waste your time studying the minutiae.
I think JJericho is also right. They are all different.
There’s this- he even moved some of the players, who often don’t even pay attention. Not exactly played straight, but absolutely beautifully done IMO.

BTW - played and conducted that version of "Battle Hymn" hundreds of times, if not more. Stock for the trade and a classic.
And.....there’s no topping that now, is there?
It looks like it might have had a rumble seat there, with that big trunk lid and heavy duty handle to open it?
@mike-ansberry said in A little humour:
@j-jericho That took me a couple of minutes.
It is taking me many minutes.......I still don't get it
That is very sad to hear. Our community band did several of his arrangements, as our director knew him personally. We even did one or more that had never been played by anyone else publicly.
Here is The Battle Hymn Of The Republic by our Blawenburg Band.

I always wanted to express my feel for these civil servants we owe so much respect to....”THE BUILDING INSPECTOR”
By me....until you have to deal with one who’s a little Napoleon. I knew the codes better than he did, but it took a call to his supervisor to get him to see it my way.
I thought my sarcasm would be obvious. A whole lot of them are Napoleons. A lot of these guys/gals wouldn’t make it a minute trying to do the tasks they criticize so freely.

How about Java, by Al Hirt?
He really had some chops. I am not saying he necessarily needed his full arsenal on Java, but it really put him into the popular mainstream
