Agree. Intonation needs to be improved. Also, if there is a way to sync timing, that would be vital as there is a bit of a muddy quality to the mix.

BTW, doesn't anyone have any questions about things trumpet or musical?

Yes, and I refer you to those topic threads. This one was titled "Happy 4th of July" a rather non-trumpet specific title and I do believe this thread is open to non-trumpet content as well and still be within the context of this thread.

Kehaulani, hope you had a wonderful 4th, and the anxiety of all the fireworks going off around you did not lead to some of the agitation you are feeling as I read your response to the content of this thread.

OK. My signature line says it all.

@Kehaulani said in A Trumpet Cover I Did. Would love some tips/advice!:

I still would like to know about the voicing and chord choice on this.
And, no, I'm not being snarky. I genuinally would like to know.

Actually, Snarky Puppy has some excellent voicing!

You convinced me Brian-Moon!

Any oil has risk, even those sold at vap shops for "pleasure". From the American Lung Association:

Essential Oil Health Claims- Fact or Fiction?
Be cautious about broad health claims about essential oils. Scientific research on the efficacy and safety of essential oils for specific health conditions is limited and more evidence is needed. Some research even shows adverse health outcomes from essential oil use. For example, a 2022 study of 200 individuals demonstrated the negative association between the use of essential oils and cardiopulmonary health. Study participants who inhaled essential oils one hour or more each day had increased heart rate and blood pressure and a decreased lung function rate.

Aromatherapy is one of the oldest and most common uses of essential oils. Much of the research published on the benefits of aromatherapy focuses on the use of a single essential oil. However, in aromatherapy, essential oils are frequently used together. There is limited research on the combinations of essential oils, interactions between the chemicals, impacts on medications and impacts on health. It is well known that when some VOCs are combined, secondary pollutants such as formaldehyde (a known nose, throat, and lung irritant) may be produced.

Though some essential oils, such as tea tree oil, have antimicrobial properties, the benefits are minimal. Research suggests that the antimicrobial effect of essential oils could only be found during the first 30-60 min after the evaporation began. This was especially in the case of tea tree oil and means that continued use or diffusion for the purpose of disinfection is ineffective.

And for the comment to prevent red rot, research as quoted above disproves that theory. I have in the past diagnosed 2 patients, one 18 years old and another 21 years old with pulmonary hypertension and right sided heart failure attributed to vaping.

So I side with Rowuk. No benefit and possible risk. Please do not run valve oil down the lead pipe.

@Kehaulani said in CLEAN YOUR HORN!:

I cleaned out my trumpet once. Green slime came out of it. My range dropped a fourth!

My concern here was, did the range decline come from horn changes or the change in pulmonary airway from aerosolization of growth in the brass?

Saying: thank you "veery" much, to Veery.

OK... Thanks for keeping me on track. Thank God I have only a one track mind... much easier to accomplish.

At least you can N gauge!

OH! (on a smaller scale and with dyslexia)

For the last few years, my main axe has been a Recording...!

A great axe to handle. So versatile and always with an amazing tone.... that crosses both jazz and classical genres. Not sure how this horn does it, but it does.

tmd: ... But you bill for it as a Cluster B personality disorder. Passive aggression, rationalization, narcissism, splitting. It's all here in this thread.

You forgot ignorance, but of course you could not know that.

Please FranlinD STOP attacking the physicians on this site!

As for ignorance, let me show you what an attack looks like to give you a REAL example of your hate. Yes. Dr. Mike and I both know ignorance as your IQ is truly way down there in the shallow end of the gene pool.

This time I am going to the administration to request you are banned from this site. I know you already received one warning but yet you continue.

Glad we've had a ton of rain this year - no burn bans were in effect. We shot off quite a bit at our 4th gathering, although most of it was stuff the boys didn't get to shoot last year.

I am Sooooooooooo glad there are people such as you and your family that do this. First of all, I can only imagine it takes up most if not all of the stimulus checks received to fund this... but this neighbor is truly appreciative. I know in my neighborhood, we had 3 neighbors within eye shot of my home shooting off an amazing display from 9:30 pm until 11:30 pm. Never, I mean never, have I gone to a "professional" fireworks display and seen this long of a show. AND what is amazing is our neighbors were shooting off the real rockets. I would hear the poof, see rockets taking off toward the sky for at least 5-10 seconds then huge plumes of flash and color... 2 solid hours.... and many, many gin an tonics later.... THE BEST 4th OF JULY SHOW I EVER ATTENDED!!!

While known as producing a dark sound, it can light up a room as well (as evidenced in Dizzy Gillespie's playing). Here is that 1946 Committee pictured above lighting up an original song, Aliyah, written by our Sax Player, Jack Novotny:

Probably the best Hammond B3 solo in history on this song AND the organ percussion heading into the post solo, just amazing then the chordal bends... just amazing.

@Newell-Post said in Covid-19 Closing Down Music Venues:

I have written a couple of things and have given a few talks about the Spanish flu of 1918+. COVID-19 is not influenza and I'm not a doctor. But there are some interesting historical lessons learned, since COVID-19 and influenza are both RNA viruses.

One of the mysteries of the Spanish flu... it died down a second time in December, before resurging in January, 1919. ... My theory is....... air conditioning... today air-conditioning is nearly universal, at least in most parts of the US. In the Summer, work and events are mostly indoors in re-circulated air conditioned air, hence the current flare up in COVID-19 cases. Instead of a Summer die-down, we may see a die-down of the COVID-19 in the Fall, when more things happen outdoors and more windows are open.

That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

Very cool with this theory. Your contribution to vent in this discussion is well appreciated.

This is a joke, right?

First, who cares what happens to a bunch of rats?

Willard?

Seriously Seth and Dale, I am so envious of the both of you to have the amazing equipment to view these planets. How thrilling it must be to see the details of what I can only see as a speck of light!

I give this a 100 Proof Rating!
