Been involved with doing taxes and rehearsal for Easter Services. Just finished both and back to life.
Excited about taxes as I get about $800 back this year, especially when I had to pay $280,000 in taxes the year before.

Gee. Three times in income as many make in salary. I feel so inadequate.
Don't feel so inadequate kehaulani. As you incorrectly assumed, I did not pay these taxes on salary. I had to pay taxes and legal fees on a million dollar lawsuit settlement I was awarded through the Ohio Supreme Court in their support against my State University employer. I had to endure threats of firing and then bullying for 10 years after I called them out for harming one of my patients after I reported them for HIPAA violations, ,and then filing Federal retaliation laws. The State Courts found after an extensive investigation that finally supported appropriate actions on my part, Bottom line: Don't F**k around with a trumpet player!
Was it worth it? No. That million dollars, minus taxes and legal fees, does not even come close to recovering the 365 days a year x 10 years of mental anguish. I do not wish this pain an torture on anyone,
Many foreign language new members. Appears they are trying to sell products. What's going on?
I was assigned to cover the newborn nursery on the fallback during Daylight Saving time and was attending a twin birth. Twin A (which is how we referred to the first born), was birthed at 1:59 am. Twin B arrived 10 minutes later, and with the setback occurring at 2 am, Twin B, the second born, was recorded as being born at 1:10 am. So by records, the youngest Twin was born 49 minutes based on Daylight Saving time as before his older brother.
That's got me beat. All I have are Till Bronner, Bill Watrous, Allen Vizutti, Chris Botti, Claudio Roditi, and Eugine Blee.

@dr-go I used to have eleven trumpets. Now I'm down to seven. Needed to sell four to afford the prescriptions you wrote me under a bridge away from cameras.
Well worth it.
But you see, now you are cured, AND maintained on the appropriate meds. Mike on the other hand... He requires ongoing therapy... but its getting harder to find bridges without camera surveillance.

How many is too many? I'm guessing more than 16.

As a medical professional I may suggest perhaps you need medical help.
Yes, and you can pay Doc so many horns per visit.

What he said. Just got to find an ICD-10 code to cover it!

A REAL Old Picture: Of me when I was age 7 years playing the Hammond B3 in a night club. I played this gig once a month for about a year and a half in 1962-63.
The Club was the Golden Rooster. The man sitting behind me was Ronnie Dale (the featured organist), and during the era, Ronnie was the organist for the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field.
@barliman2001 said in Dry instrument vs Wet instrument:
@dale-proctor So we can conclude that wet is always preferable to dry - a sentiment shared by glasses of whisky.
Not entirely true, there is something to say about a dry blended whiskey . Now that's how you wet a trumpet .

@ssmith1226 To answer the question... two large Tupperware containers, as you can see in the background.
It is amazing what you can do with plastic these days (foreground and background included)
And you should probably be able to pay the dual citizenship from afar, as it is as easy as, "The Czech is in the mail."

That's gotta bee unbearable.
@georgeb said in The Visualization Of Sound Waves:
I wonder what would happen if the stripper is dancing too close to the trumpet player? YIKES
George
Oh? Do you REALLY need to wonder about that situation!
