Louis always does good. And his sister is still hot;)
Here's a blast from Louis's past!! I remember watching this when it was first put on you tube.
He's got some taping and sparkling to do, but he spent that time practicing instead, I believe.

Another awesome performance by Clapton. (These are classic - I laugh so hard I literally have tears rolling down my face.)
I love these, Patrick. But I don’t remember giving you permission to use my recordings of me.
I saw one of Wynton doing Cherokee which had me so fooled at first ( not a big stretch ) but gradually more and more clams came out. The thing that made it so convincing was that it was so well synced, the fingers moved and the notes lined up perfectly.

Nothing exceeds like excess.
Once again, this was Eugene Blee's exercises he developed to optimize his performance. He was the longest sitting principle trumpeter for the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Exceeding in excess this is not. Give it a try. It is not excessive at all.
It takes very little warm up time to get through this exercise series, and if performed entirely in series, truly guarantees preparing the embouchure for a days worthy performance.
Look at the post I am quoting. "Without first doing these excesses"
Just messing with you. I was your editor in another TiMe.

Heard this one on the radio today:
Owwwwwwwwch 
Immediate dismissal for that band director too. They had no chance of playing that properly. I am pretty certain they didn’t nail it in practice and then get stage fright....
@Dr-GO said in LONG TONES:
You are so welcome. They have worked well for me for over 40 years. I will not start a rehearsal or performance without first doing these excesses.
Nothing exceeds like excess.
Let’s try this. ( with iPad) the upload icon all the way to the right is what I used, and cropped it a little to make it more square.

The rest seem like the ones you'd find on eBay for under a hundred bucks, brand new with Mouthpiece and hard case.
Don't forget the white gloves.
Haha, you mean I only thought it? Guess I forgot to type it.

Top trumpets. What a douch bag.

Any on wants to bet Yamaha pays the largest commission and likely the higher volume. This analysis has a high risk rating due to the conflict of support bias.
The Yamaha still is likely the best of those picks. From my perspective that’s the only one I ever heard of. The rest seem like the ones you'd find on eBay for under a hundred bucks, brand new with Mouthpiece and hard case.

@BigDub Actually it is Sol, not So... from Solfege. https://www.musicnotes.com/now/tips/solfege-what-is-it-and-how-is-it-used/
Oh, say it isn't so. All my life it's been so.
And yet, I knew about solfege, too. I guess I was going by the sound of music version. And is "sol" a needle pulling thread, I ask?
@Vulgano-Brother said in A little humour:
"Sing a scale," said my teacher, years ago.
I sang "do re mi fa sol la ti do."
"At least you got the words right," he said.
Well, it’s so, not sol. Sorry. Almost right.

Golf needs something to truly make it a sport. Like a defense blitzing. There was a movie that added rushers to Golf. Can't remember the title. Sorry for the absence. Crazy busy.
Could you be thinking about the Adam Sandler movie, Happy Gilmore? It didn’t exactly have that, but did have many broken golf taboos on it. Pretty funny.

Any news on Kanstel? And ow many members do we have now?
Are the two related?
I don’t know, but usually I brought my lunch to school.

How many times can you tear a sheet of paper in half?
Once. After that it would be quarters, eighths, sixteenths, etc.
How many letters are there in the word, Deed?
Two. Well, the other two are repeats

It’s been quiet so here it goes:
An Englishman, Frenchman, Spaniard, and German were watching a street magician. The magician realized that they couldn’t see him well so he stepped up on a high box. The magician said, “Can you see me now?”
They answered,
Yes
Oui
Si
Ja
You see, now, that there is funny. However, you must be fluid in 4 languages like myself to get it.
I bet you said to yourself, "what a moron, fluid?
It's supposed to be, fluent!"
Well, you should have said so.

I could tell you a few hundred dumb ideas, but that would be a dumb idea, kinda.
@flugelgirl
This is one case where I would have preferred making it into a wall hanging.
Those late night TV commercials. I don’t know why but they strike me so funny. And by late night, I mean, like after 9:30.
The ones that show the exaggerated comparisons. Those.
And the FLEX SEAL guy. His are awesome.
