100% so far on the ones you listed (excluding of course 13). Nice work! Seven more to go.

Somehow you edited in 15, 12 and 10. Those are not the right answers.

Flugel Girl and Vulgano Brother better get #1 (Hint)

100% so far on the ones you listed (excluding of course 13). Nice work! Seven more to go.

Participants may give there answers until we have consensus on all 15. (I do have the answers by the way).

In Covid-19 times I thought solving puzzles may help pass the time. See below for the First Challenge.

I borrowed from a friend. the Wynton biography book and his chapter on the blues was just perfect. Wish I still had it so I could provide some definitive lines and statements he made regarding the blues.

Trumpet-a-holic?

With a more positive a spin... Trumpet-holistic. Rapier is a pretty neat guy.

Interesting stream on consciousness

flugelgirl - I think this was an obtuse reference to Trump.

Kehaulani is wise beyond his years. Actually, to get rid of hard to treat biologic 91% isopropyl is effective and safe.

Perhaps also a daily washing with Bleach, Yes?

Perhaps Miles Davis was on to something:

Not known to be a high note player, and used a Harmon mute a lot of the time. Perhaps we can all learn from Miles, yes?

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.

Here is a safety comparison of particles produced by different instruments. Trumpets do pretty well.. but what the heck, a Tuba is the same as "background' noise. In real life, Tuba and Background noise is an oxymoron.

Hello. I’m Dave and I’m an alcoholic. Damn , wrong forum.

Maybe not.

No I think he is!

Not really!

Also unique to the Martin Committee, after cleaning, it is of value to fill the horn completely with water, then blowing the water through the valve casings before oiling.

I agree with Mike. I think wiping down the valve block is key before adding a new drop of oil, no matter which one you choose.
