Of course for patients that I need to be discrete with (especially my pediatric population) I try to ease the stress behind our illness visit with the line:
Glad you took the special time for a personal visit today, because you cannot spell virus without U and I.

This is my concern as well. I know that over editing can be damaging but if it is used wisely to promote the advancement of good ideas and defuses the anger the that risks the credibility of the site, then this is a necessary tool to keep TB moving forward.

Too late!
Some creative mask use I have seen:
To me this one says: "Orange you glad I am not coughing on you"
I wonder if this one is wearing square pants:
So, do you put a lime in this one:
I am betting for this one, it's his time of the month to shop:
So to all of our members, stay safe out there and wear your masks however creative they may be.

Mike I agree. I really hope editing is kept to a minimum but when needed to keep discussion in harmony with the need to diffuse anger, then so be it. I really want TB to grow and be a leader in providing information to trumpet players.
Wayne Shorter covered it all through many years and styles. He taught me so much as I remember transcribing so many of his solos for my trumpet lessons with Claudio. Here is an NPR tribute to him. He leaves us at age 89.

It's possible to disagree without being offensive.I could not agree more.
And I will agree not more!
The real good news is I am playing in a club tomorrow night with a trio, and using social distancing. That is technology that I understand and can work with!
You mentioned efficient. Not sure if this is efficient but it damn well works. I studied jazz improvisation with Claudio Roditi for my last 18 months I lived in New York City. He focused the entire lesson experience on me transcribing other jazz artists solos. He had me learn them in all the keys. His theory was in transcribing a variety of soloists, in so doing, you would eventually find your own voice. It was intensive training but rewarding. Here is a recording of one of my solos with the quintet I perform with on a song written by our bassist:

I'm a dinosaur, Steve. I threw my cell phone in the garbage when I retired 20 years ago..and with good reason. Today I only own and use a basic desktop computer.And what then, a land-line phone?
What about the classic tin cans connected by metal wire?
By interpretation is members here are doing so well from prior threads that we are proficiently progressing and have yet to stumble from what we have gleaned so far from this site. So to me, all looks well, and I for one do try to get anyone's goat, especially the administrator, as I do not want to be a baaaaaaaaa-d influence.
A nice book I have used most recently that introduces fresh concepts in phrasing is The Art of Jazz. I have the link to this book below:

Yeah, I can live with that. Just look at my post count!
I understand instead of using his E string, he squared the measure of his C string... you know E = mC(squared)
Leonid and Friends, a Russian based band, has been best known to being a cover band, started with Chicago, Earth Wind and Fire and Blood Sweat and Tears, but they just came out with their first original called "Speck of Dust". Just blows me away:

I have developed the quadrangle so we can give up the triangle and still enjoy the 'ding'.
Is the extra thing a better ding? What's your angle? Would it be called a perpendingal?
