Saying: thank you "veery" much, to Veery.
OK... Thanks for keeping me on track. Thank God I have only a one track mind... much easier to accomplish.
At least you can N gauge!
OH! (on a smaller scale and with dyslexia)
@mdwilliams said in Harrelson Trumpets:
...I had to put it down before I got tempted to spend all the money I have for one!
That is a down side to Harrelson horns (and mouthpieces). They are rather pricey.
@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:
Well, here's something I just completed. You might like this one, DrGO?
It's missing a ship on the horizon, right? Maybe you want to post THAT one for comparison, or maybe not if you don't give a ship.
@GeorgeB said in Harrelson Trumpets:
@Dr-GO
How do you like your Harrelson, Doc ?
It's a gift from Heaven. It has so many textures and so easy to "turn" the horn on between them. I have a very large bell in between that of a traditional trumpet bell and flugelhorn bell (#7). It can sound so mellow during ballads, and with a harmon mute, it plays with the sound from my Martin Committee. Yet, when I put my 5mm Jettone copy in, it peals paint as a lead horn. It plays with essentially no resistance, makes the upper range as relaxed as in the staff (which makes the upper range sound relaxed - when I want it to). Just an amazing instrument.

So glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback, David:-)
I think the wine color is more handsome than the camera captures- do you think so?
I don't know, just had two glasses of wine and it looks damn good to me in this picture!
@Brian-Moon said in A little humour:
...Most people can't make an accurate portrayal of events 100 years ago, much less the supposed millions of years ago. Who can hope to authoritatively state such a record?
I remember looking into carbon dating a while back, and the margin for error is apparently astronomical. As a dating mechanism it has more questions than answers, yet it was taught as the standard for my entire school tenure.
Anyway, don't know how all this landed under the topic of humor, so, uh, here's a quick joke:
What is green and has wheels?
Grass. I was lying about the wheels.
No proof for millions of years. One reason is that it is physically impossible. PM me if you'd like to know more. The best evidence shows that Utah was covered by an ocean about 4,500 years ago.
Lets take it back Billions of years (accurate to 120 million years):

Grass. I was lying about the wheels.
...and possibly smoking the grass... which lead to the creation of the above "joke" no doubt.

I give up. I leave you folks to talk about what a forum called "TrumpetBoards is really about.
I see TrumpetBoards as being REALLY ABOUT trumpeters that have a life. We are a multi-dimensional group of individuals, many of which toot many different horns, so to speak.

Pure democracy will not work because it is easy for tyrants to convince the weak, the ignorant, and the stupid...
You convinced me Brian-Moon!
Speaking of Getzen, I recently bought a new 490 at half price and though it is considered an intermediate horn I am really liking it as much, if not more than a couple of my professional horns.
Waiting for the picture!
I don't have an I-phone. The only thing I have is from the brochure...
That is a BEAUTIFUL horn, one that for sure would make my heart race!

@Dr-GO said in Happy 4th of July!:
BTW, doesn't anyone have any questions about things trumpet or musical?
Yes, and I refer you to those topic threads. This one was titled "Happy 4th of July" a rather non-trumpet specific title and I do believe this thread is open to non-trumpet content as well and still be within the context of this thread.
Kehaulani, hope you had a wonderful 4th, and the anxiety of all the fireworks going off around you did not lead to some of the agitation you are feeling as I read your response to the content of this thread.
@Kehaulani said in Happy 4th of July!:
Isn't that the definition of political discussion?
No. Here is the definition of political discussion: Political criticism (also referred to as political commentary or political discussion) is criticism that is specific of or relevant to politics, including policies, politicians, political parties, and types of government.
We have had none of this in our discussion revolving around the 4th.

Interesting... That is exactly what my wife says when she looks at my belly!
NO SERIOUSLY.... Curlydoc, they do look beautiful!

No it's not. It presupposes that the third party is a lamb.
Where do you get this outcome. What if the two wolves and sheep voted on the carrots in the farmers garden as their dinner choice? That is an entire different member of the biological phylum, right?
I remember making a bet with a pre-law student that claimed pre-med was easy. So our bet was I would take a 300 level Political Science course and he would take the 100 level General Chemistry course and see who had the better grade at the end. So I took "The American Congress" and got a B+. I liked it so much (so different than Chemistry) that I took the next course in the series "The American Presidency". I got an A+ in that course. To this day, my friend has YET TO TAKE A CHEMISTRY course. This has only reinforced my belief that lawyers are whimps!
@BigDub said in Happy 4th of July!:
Enough politics.
I don't see this as a political discussion, but rather a political science dissertation, and I'm cool with understanding political science as best I can. [See next post]
