What is interesting to me is we have more and more new users but very little input from them. They chose to become users for a reason and it would be interesting (as well as hopefully initiating more discussion) as to why the have chosen to be users. What more are new users looking for, such that we more active posters can also contribute more focused discussions to their needs.

I check this forum daily, but rarely see anything that interests me enough to reply. Most of my posts seem to interest very few people, and receive very few responses. Maybe it’s just me…lol
Dale I always love your posts and try to reply whenever I can, but you say it so well, sometimes I just cannot add to the quality you deliver.
@administrator Then I'll keep planning on sending donations.
Thought I mentioned it before but cannot find my original post. My contribution to the comparison of TH and TB is I cannot find a better discussion than on TB as to medical aspects relating to the health of trumpet players in specific or musicians in general. I am not a member of TH (as I do not find it as user friendly). I do scan it frequently and do not find appropriate detailed discussion as to health issues on the TH site. This is why I started a Medical Discussion section to TB. I believe this is a unique quality of this site, and am glad it is used by our members.
I know we have several physicians and medically trained individuals on this site, that is more evident than I can find on TH. So we do have the expertise and individual credentialed to provide helpful content to this component of TB and have been grateful to our members that have used the aspect of this forum to getting qualified medical advice.

Of late, life has been getting in the way of browsing this and other social media (both good and not so good distractions). At 67y.o. I’m contemplating retirement from a rewarding job that I love, to do other things, musical and other, that I love a little more.
I contemplated retiring at 65. Did so, and within 2 months started a new career. I am now 68 and no where near planning on retiring.

@Trumpetb I am living proof that a trumpet player can both suck and blow when they blow. Hope this helps.
As a physician, I was always confused on advising my patients when donating to a sperm bank. Would it be a deposit... or a withdrawal?
Happy Easter Rowuk and all. I am 10 minutes away from opening an Easter Service that starts with Handel's "The Trumpet Shall Sound "
Here is the recording I was hired to play:
@Dale-Proctor It's in Cincinnati after eating a 5 way chili at Skyline!

@BigDub
Are you now into abstract performance art?
I would have voted for it if he would have included pierced 
earrings.
@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:
@Dr-GO you may be surprised to hear you are way off on that figure, Doc!
I count at least 7 you have had me do. ANNNNNND I am very grateful for it, too. ( In no particular order..)
You are correct. I stand corrected. It is just that I have so many rooms in my house, I completely forgot those rooms when counting. The Santa Fe, and Winter Farm Scene are in every day rooms that I use, and they two doggie pictures, of course they come first to mind.
As for the boat on the ocean, that one hangs over my bed and it is a mental reconstruction of my wife and my honeymoon cruse that I related to this amazing artist and he reconstructed it perfectly... and I forgot that one in the count. Do not let my wife know or I will be in the room with Ellie's picture, also a bedroom that my Mother in Law shares when she comes for a visit with Ellie in tow.
