John entered a Covid-19 Vaccine Centre and was given his first dose.
On the way home, he found he had suddenly developed severe vision problems. So he called the vaccine centre to ask whether he should see his doctor or go straight into hospital.
"Don't go to the doctor OR the hospital. Your only chance is to return here and collect the glasses you forgot!"
Guess they sticked it to him twice that day!

@bigdub Extremely rare... especially as in that picture a heron is standing in for the stork...
I think I am heron you loud and clear.

The Olds Ambassador. While touted as a beginners horn, it was used by my favorite trumpet player, Lee Morgan on his Cornbread album. Used also by many other professionals (Freddie Hubbard), so while some may critique it as a beginner model, it plays with precision and sound of vintage horns. In fact, of the 10 horns I own, all of the remainder of which are definitely not beginner horns, I rate my Ambassador as number 3, that follows after my Martin Committee and Harrelson Summit.
...then there was no one quit as famous as the bugler from F Troup that even played with an arrow down his bell:
@j-jericho said in Bugles Across America:
It's an electronic device that looks like a bugle. The user pretends to play, and a recording actually sounds Taps...
So you are saying: The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company B - the real thing; but The boogie woogie bugle boy of Company E, not so much!
I think when it comes to valve oil, it's more the preference of the player than it is about the horn. I find that my Ultrapure works equally well on my 1939 Olds Super Recording as it does on my 2017 Harrelson Summit.
So it looks like we have a couple of Conn artists here. Welcome Eaton good to have you on board.
@georgeb georgeb, are you still a union player after all these years?
I joined the AFM about a decade ago and have been very impressed as to how the union has worked for me as well as the benefits that are available to AFM members.
"...I'm going to finally buy the perfect mouthpiece"...
As have I... each year for every year I have been playing the trumpet. Yep Yep... Have 50 perfect mouthpieces I have... Yep Yep.
Welcome to TB and look forward to reading your shared knowledge as you have more to offer here than you may think... and if you have a good enough offer, I can sell you one of my perfect mouthpieces, that would be just perfect for you, I am perfectly sure.
This is the version I played. I played the melody line on the 1st verse; the vocal descant line on the second verse; sat out (organ solo) the third verse; and the descant trumpet line the forth verse:
I have noticed this topic has been dormant for the past Easter, as I imagine Covid restrictions has been so critical in impacting large gatherings. I just finished a day of playing Easter Services at an area Lutheran Church, that had a full service, all masking, using alternating pews with staggered seating in family units. It worked well.
For this service, I was fortunate to get Descant Trumpet parts for all Hymns and had traditional organ trumpet parts for the opening Prelude, Te Duem, and the processional, The Trumpet Shall Sound.
The Traditional Selections Included:
Bist Du Bei Mir
Now All the Vaults
Crist the Lord Is Risen Today
Jesus Christ Is Risen Today

I am working right now on three cat portraits. I will admit it is a struggle. Particularly with the eyes and getting the proper emotion. I was fortunate to find this reference poster. This really makes it crystal clear.
Yeah... THAT THEY ARE CAT-ATONIC!
