@Dale-Proctor said in Trumpet Board Remote Performance:

I’m currently involved in recording a virtual orchestral performance of Christmas music (some of it quite complicated) that will be broadcast locally in December. Playing along with a click track/backing track in headphones is a bit tricky, especially when there are holds and ritards in the piece. You have to listen to it and play along numerous times to be able to anticipate what’s happening. We’re doing multiple takes of the pieces, so the recording folks can hopefully piece together an acceptable product.

Would love to hear it when it is released, Dale.

A UPS truck, a Propane delivery truck, and a tow truck all got stuck at the same time on my friend's steep and icy driveway.
I completely forgot the punch line, but it was really funny.
You would have liked it.

BigDub... Me thinks you were standing too close to the gas truck.
seems like the punch line might have had something to do with that.......it’s really funny, if I could only remember it

I'll let you guess.

Wow. Sorry to hear that, man. I can’t imagine what you are going through

Spoiler alert:These are not going to be very good. I warned you.

Where's the capital of Alaska, juno?

Gotta steal this one.

Well, they had to be original at some point, so let me adjust that figure.........”most” jokes are stolen.

I have yet to hear an "original joke." Get it? ... probably not.

???
Here’s an original joke for you-

ADAM: knock, knock
EVE: who's there?
ADAM: Who do you think?

Oops, forgot I was going to post this, too!

@Dr-GO

Would you believe he is behind the barn already?

I found a copy of American Drummer Boy on Ebay. Love civil war stuff.....

I ran across this screen shot of me playing Eb cornet in the movie. That’s me on the end by the stair.

I think you looked like you were about a half a beat off, there, Dale.

Just kidding

I would like to hear if you think this is done. I am leaning heavily toward yes, myself. Also I know what the client wants, and you don’t, necessarily....here it is as of today.
The story about this, without naming any names, Is that the Client's uncle owned this farm near Rockford, IL. He passed away a number of years ago and the client wants to give this to his own father ( older brother of the owner of this farm ).
The farm has since been sold, hence, the sentimental value of the gesture.

@BigDub If my daughter can get a pic of her doggie in to me, I may have another job for you to be completed by Christmas if that is possible.

Yup. Yessir. Very possible, Lord willing. The better the photo.......you know...the better job I can do.

The current Commision I am working on. Here is a series of shots showing the progression of what steps I go through, though this isn’t necessarily the same for every painting I do. This one, however is being done this way. There were several more drawings to determine how I wanted to lay out the design and positioning of everything.
