I still think we need a state named after a dog, like Mexico's Chihuahua.
Imagine, the state of Mastiff...
Don’t forget Canada, though they don’t exactly have states, have Newfoundland and Labrador.

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. 
Here is a new one. A big thank you to Ivan Hunter for use of the photograph of Pumpkin Island Lighthouse, Brooklyn, Maine. It may look familiar because I did an earlier one of the opposite side. It’s a very small island amongst many in that area.
What state would you say DOES represent the whole country, Newell Post?

Someone stole the wheels from a patrol car. Police are pursuing the perpetrator tirelessly.
Vandals made hole in nudist colony fence. Police are looking into it.
Unknown suspect broke into the police precinct headquarters and stole all the toilets. Investigators have nothing to go on.
Thieves broke into the Mexican Phone Company and stole an undisclosed amount of equipment, Taco Bell reports.

Pre-Trumpet but warming up for the event on the Hammond B3 at my first club gig. Played once a month at the Golden Rooster, Anderson Twp, Cincinnati OH. That is Ronnie Dale in the background. He was the original organist for the Cincinnati Reds.
I think my first trumpet might indeed have been better than that trumpet there on top of the organ
Maybe so, but at one point I had a dancer sitting on my organ.
No comment.

That trumpet in the photo.....no finger hole, no bracing, absolutely no engraved brand anywhere to be found on the Horn. Surprising I was even enthusiastic enough to continue playing since it was so difficult to get any decent sound. Of course the player didn’t help much. It was a bit of a joint effort in that sense. That Horn wouldn’t even be lamp worthy, I don’t think.
@GeorgeB said in I really should be a better player.:
I did a lot of things with the trumpet that I can't do today when I played some 50 years ago between '53 and '65. So I should be a better player, too, but I am not. Age has a way of changing things.
I do think I am a smarter player today, and a bit more knowledgeable in the music theory thing, but you'd have to call 911 if I tried playing a 3 hour wedding gig these days.
Poor quality, but this is me with my 5 piece combo playing a teen dance in the early 50s.
I like it. But George, A slight correction. Brace yourself. Some fifty years ago was......are you ready? 1970....
Here I am at probably 11 or 12, in my room with Frank Gifford of the NY Giants artwork on the wall. Playing my heart out.
And I am not a comeback player. I never totally stopped playing. This is 56 years ago, give or take......
I really should be so much better....

Wayne, maybe GeorgeB will take the bait and be another one of you happy customers... I know I am!
I am very happy you are, too! Your support is well appreciated, Doc. It must be hard to forget about me around your house......
@GeorgeB said in Artist on BOARD:
Oh, yeah, Wayne, that is fantastic. I have experienced moments like that when on overnight trout fishing trips. It really comes alive for me.
Thank you, George. I'm glad you relate to it!
It might be about time I show a new one, maybe?
I have been bouncing this one around in my head for some time but when it came down to it I got right at it.
