An interesting video on how much practice makes you an “expert”.

I am a firm believer in the 10,000 hour rule, at least for we mortals. As for Elmer Churampi, that rule need not be followed as some truly amazing individuals such as he has extraordinary synapses that do not require those 10,000 hours to organize.

George my only question is are you using the nylon stocking while it's still on the woman. If so, we are talking about a whole different class of disease.

I did not know Alligators could read!

Every 3rd Thursday of the month I have played in a an 18 piece jazz orchestra at a dance hall (The Milton Club). The floor is always packed. I enjoy watching the dancers as much as I do playing. Have been doing this gig since 2012.

@Vulgano-Brother

I guess she didn't like the soundtrack to Clockwork Orange...

My bet is that she was unimpressed by only going on a dollar date. VB didn't even take her to Dollar General for a snack for crapping out loud!

Doc, I was trying to picture that in my mind, and swear to God, some really ludicrous scenes popped up. You have a wild imagination, Doc. LOL !!!

Obviously not as wild an imagination as you, as nothing of mine popped up... OMG do I need medication? Glad you are popping though GeorgeB. Only if I had your youthfulness!

...I have about 10 horns... I'm actually thinking about thinning the heard.

Mike

As long as one of them is NOT that Getzen Eterna Flugelhorn. It is a beauty and plays just the same. I know. I've played it!

@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:

A very old vintage painting I did which involved some combining of images....just saying, I did not actually see this scene as it appears except when I painted it that way! We are looking at something from around 1980 here.

Have you had a digoxin level checked recently? Rumor has it that Van Gogh's textures were yellow due to his excessive use of digoxin. Anyway, let me know and I will keep an ear off for you.

Don't forget, it's not just the changes you need to hear but also the rhythm. If all you have is rhythm then the world of improv is yours to provide a new direction. That makes it all the more fun and inspiring.

Medical Director?

Thanks Kehaulani. Correction made. Hard to get the day gig off the mind.

@Kehaulani said in Playing risks in Covid-time:

"The government", in this case, are the highly experienced, infectious disease medical experts the President, himself, selected.

I don't think the President selected Fauci. I believe he was already in the position as the Director of the National Science Foundation Allergy and Infections Disease Division. The President can only elect to listen or not to listen to Dr. Fauci's advice.

@trumpetb said in What's the recording in this scene?:

This although neither Chet nor Miles, speaks to me as powerfully as any work by Miles or by Chet, thank you for posting it.

We are hearing work of the highest quality here and hearing the work of genius equal to the very best in the world.

Trumpetb thanks for your perspective. Till Bronner is now my all time favorite musician. Also had the pleasure of meeting him. The next day he invited me on stage and we had the chance to play together and at one point to trading 8's.

Just received these Descant Trumpet parts for several Christmas Carols for the Lutheran performance. I am posting them hear to save time for any members from having to do a lengthy internet search. Enjoy:

My weekend contribution to trumpet pedagogy involves medical aspects of trumpet playing. I found this amazingly interesting article that provides some insight as to how to best position the body for trumpet performance, I found it fascinating that just simple aspects of playing the trumpet in the sitting vs standing position demands different roll of the placement of anatomical positions (head related to spin, arm position, leg positions, etc.. Some interesting concepts here. I would love to hear commentary as to how member agree or disagree with some of this concepts. Here is a pdf of the original article. Enjoy!
