I believe Ohio is well represented here. Currently living in Dayton... and am supporting Dayton Strong as we still grieve through last weekend's mass killing.
Originally from Cincinnati, lived in Cleveland for two stents, (with brief residents in Ft. Collins Co and New York City - Actually Jackson Heights, Queens) but came back down to Dayton which is comfortably close to my home roots in Cincinnati.
How do you catch a buffalo?
First dig a large pit.
Then fill the bottom of the pit with burn remains off firewood.
Next take multiple cans of peas and line the complete rim of the pit with the peas.
The trap is ready such as when the buffalo comes by to take a pea, you kick him in the ash hole!

Oh dear. No. It's just the 2 all beef patties. Please, no more talk of sauce, special or otherwise.
The two all beef patties would be the cheeks.... but the corners of them lip heading North to the Zygomatic arche... That's the special sauce, and it's spelled Pheeeeoooooo

vertical smile?I need some help on that one. I'm not sure what a vertical smile is.
@Dr-Mark said in Help! I need to hit that high note!:
Good Morning Dr-GO!
I think you've left out a very important variable as it pertains to playing in the upper register. That variable being the importance of the tongue and how it is used.
Ah... but even more important is the vertical smile. This will put all anatomy of muscles involved (tongue, orbiqularis) into a most favorable environment to achieve optimal positioning.

Did the young man from Delaware that also had an interesting watch collection come over from TM?
Yes. But he hasn't posted recently.
@Bay-Area-Brass said in Harmon Mute Showdown!:
@tmd They older ones are in tune once you pull out the slide a bit. I'm happy to do that in order to keep the classic tone.
Yes. The general rule was:
Harmon in, slide out. I too perform this task with honor.
But for me personally, I'll stick with my Harmon Type B mute. For me, it has the classic sound, and good intonation from low F# on up. My aluminium Jo Ral is pretty good, too. I still have my Harmon Type A from the 1970s, but the intonation is bit more squirrely, especially in the low register.
Mike
So that explains it why I love my 1970 vintage Harmon. I always thought I had a Type A personality!
TrumpetMD with the accurate diagnosis once again! That's why we love you here Dr. Mike!

Is it the Harrelson with the cigar wrapper on the bell? Surely that's the reason behind his range.
Yes, it is the Harrelson with the cigar wrapper on the bell. Saw it close range. It is really beautiful art work!
Nothing, I mean nothing sounds better than the 1970 vintage Harmons. What made them so different?

Hey, I just did three of those exams today! Pays good money. Perhaps I can send the proceeds to our administrator!
Once had a patient that asked me when I was doing the exam how much it was going to cost while I was grabbing his jewels. I told him $50. Then there was a long pause as I held them in my hands, and then I stated... and $100 do get them back!
@Bob-Pixley said in Can Playing with Musicians Out of Tune Give You a Headache?:
I've never had a headache from playing with out of tune "musicians", but it is a pain in the butt.
In these situations, I just learned to turn the other cheek!
@GeorgeB said in Can Playing with Musicians Out of Tune Give You a Headache?:
The brass section in our band is the back row and the drums are always situated directly behind me... I feel the rhythm from the tips of my toes to the top of my head.
Now that has got to be the longest path of radiating tremor I have ever heard in my clinical career.
@neal085 said in TM Refugee - Late to the Party.:
Is double high C the one below the staff?
I will disagree with tmd in the answer to this one.
No, it is One Part Double High-C; below Two Parts Gin.
Cheers!
@neal085 said in TM Refugee - Late to the Party.:
Is Kenny G still considered the best jazz artist of all time?
I agree with tmd's answer (no) but I do know Kenny G holds the Guinness Book of Records for holding the longest note, I believe for 59 minutes.
AND word on the street is Kenny G is making a tribute album to Monk calling it:
Straight, No Changes.
As for me, my request for Kenny G would be to play "Long Ago and Far Away"
OK: Discuss

@Dr-Mark said in Does a large bore horn take more air?:
What! No rubber lips or rubber bladders!
It looks like Artificial Rhonda needs to go back into her suitcase until more lenient legislation can be passed. Just damned. I was starting to feel that she was beginning to like me for who I am.
It's my guess she rubbered you the wrong way!
@Dr-Mark said in S.H.I. Spontaineous Harmonic Improvization:
The way SHI works is to get with the other horn player and agree that whenever someone comes up with a little motif or riff, they share it with the other horn player...
So a year ago, the Jazz Director at the University of Dayton (Willie Morse, an alto sax player) asked me to play a gig with him at this bar in downtown Dayton called Hanna's. He has had me sub with many of his university jazz ensembles, and they were always guaranteed to be an exceptional musical experience with all the fine music majors at UD (Go Flyers!). So of course I said sure.
When I got there 15 minutes before the gig started it was just Willie on stage. So I asked him where the rhythm section was to set up (so I wouldn't get in their way), and he replied: Well buddy, it's just you and me.
I NEVER in my professional career just played with another horn and have no chordal instrument backing me up. A wave of embarrassment and fear passed through me. But then we started, reading through tunes he called out in the Real Books. MAN DID WE COOK! So as you so stated, Dr. Mark, one of us played the lead while the other comped. Like piano or guitar line comping. Then on a wink or nod, the lead line changed and the other person comped. And while the improv soloist was performing, the comping became a bit more subtle. But what I was truly amazed with, was how full the sound was with just two solo instruments playing such a venue.
What an amazing experience this was, with Spontaneous Harmonic Improvization to the MAX. The club owner was so impressed (or cheap 'cause he only had to pay 2 musicians - you be the judge) that he booked the two of us for many more gigs.
