I think she looks more angelic than evangelic...in a kind of sexy way.

Like Charlies angels? (The originals of course)

I was never a fan of Welk but he wrote an autobiography that I enjoyed very much. You might, as well. Interesting man.

Which addition? A One or a Two or a Three?

Wun Hung Lo was actually the brother of author Hung Tu Low, who wrote "Over the High Hurdles".

Maybe they set the bar too low?

We always watched the show. Nana (Swiss grandmother) loved it. I usually got thrown out of the living room for running my mouth off, LOL,

So did you get your mouth washed out with soap as well ?... would have added to the ambiance of the Welk bubbles in the background and put you in better favor with Nana!

As far as the Fulcrum goes, it plays a lot like the Super Recording. If you want a Super Recording, but don’t want to pay a lot for what could end up a project horn, the Fulcrum is the way to go. It’s actually so similar that I have the same intonation issue with both models, so neither is a good fit for me, but it should work for anyone who likes a Super Recording.

Interesting. I use an Olds 7 mouthpiece on my Super Recording and have not had any intonation issues. My take on the Super Recording is it plays a bit brighter than my other Olds horns. I find it interesting that the Recording was developed as the transition horn from the Super Recording, yet the Recording plays so much different than the Super Recording.

The one attribute I particularly like about my Super Recording is it plays with more accuracy than with most other horns I have played.

I have a custom Adams A4 LT that was made for me with a red brass bell and 5.5" flair. It isn't as heavy as the standard A4 ... but is not balanced. I will play the A3 Fulcrum and others at ITG and decide which axe will escort me home.

Blaine, how is the resistance on that A4? I played one on a gig that an audience member wanted me to try and had to change back to my Committee after the first set as I was beginning to fatigue after playing for the first hour.

The Good Ship Lollypop?

Or the Goodwill Ship Lollypop where people actually give a ship!

This truly is a ghost ship. It has a back wash and small wake but no captain operating the boat!

You have a good point there. They must have been trying to find something on the floor for a minute.

Or a ship transporting the lolly pop guild.

Ok, now you're just making me jealous that it's not sub-zero temperatures in Key West.

Supposedly the only frost free zone in the continental US

@J-Jericho
That was the funniest post I’ve seen in weeks!

As hard as I could look, I really couldn't see their posts. How were you able to see around that piano?

I was referring to J. Jericho’s post above mine which actually was much funnier than my Piano Duo post. Oh, by the way, as far as looking hard, be careful, you could hurt yourself.

Or go blind!

I spent a lifetime, one night, in the keys!

41 years of my lifetime has been in the Keys.

Envious! Have spent a couple weeks of my life in Key West, one of them below from the deck of the bed and breakfast I stayed at with my lovely wife during a wedding anniversary:

Well, you know how it worked out for Ernest Hemmingway?

Mental stability has an impact, wouldn't you agree? Location would not likely be the reason.

Ernest Hemmingway struggled with depression his entire life. As a result of a plane crash and increase in his mental and physical injuries he was seduced into alcoholism. During this period, he became more ill, got more and more depressed and his life ended with a gunshot. Was it self inflicted? We don't know, but he certainly had the substrate to doing this, but let's please not make a parallel to Key West as a major influence to his ultimate demise.

When I look at that photo, why do I think of Forest Gump?

Key Largo Sunset along US 1:

US 1 is one of my favorite roadways but West is my favorite key... Ab minor isn't a bad key either come to think of it.
