Now this would be a pretty good icon for TrumpetBoards, perhaps.

@tjcombo I believe it helps, tj.
I think I might be subconsciously doing something along those lines and the closer I get to doing it right the better it feels.

@tjcombo I simply don’t understand how to do it.

@Kehaulani .....understood. No problem

@Kehaulani I never could grasp that whole thing, not that I disagree with it, but I just can’t wrap my head around it.
I took it this way: the better my breathing becomes, the better my playing.
That is how I wrapped it up.

@GeorgeB said in A real OLD comebacker here:

I like that TrumpetBoards saw fit to have a place for come back players. I came back to playing in the spring of 2016 at the ripe old age of 80 after a 51 year hiatus. Those 3 years up to now have had plenty of ups and downs, including 3 lip injuries last year, but things are really starting to work out for me. This year I have changed bands because the one I belonged to since the fall of 2016 was no longer challenging enough. The one I recently joined offers plenty of challenge, including being able to play beside a 30 year pro trumpet player who goes out of his way to help me learn the band's extensive play list. Right now I am in Trumpet heaven.

I hope other come back players here will join me in sharing our trials, tribulations and, most importantly, our successes and joy from playing the devil's instrument we all love so dearly.
George, you are an inspiration to us all, I think. I know you are to me! Keep it up, I am right here for you.

OK: first try, the same error message, but second try is successful!
I like your house. Very nice and cozy.

@dupac oh, so that is your house? Nice.

@administrator I seem to have some difficulty uploading a photo so it comes up next to my posts. I uploaded one to my signature but I still have the Big Orange circle B for my icon rather than the photo I uploaded.

@Tobylou8 you should get out more...

@administrator how do I do a personal message? I can’t see any icon for it anyplace...I want to send a message
( obviously....duh! )

@dupac travel trumpet

@dupac I am here, too. Invited by Dupac, and Toblylou8.
I guess that is a good endorsement
