@dr-go Can you distinguish a difference?

The difference in the amount of dust released.

So a Hoover sound from a sax I would assume, sucks?

@administrator I'm in seat 40 right

I have been subbing for a good friend that is recovering from Open Heart surgery and stepping out of my jazz mode, have been playing multiple rock concerts with his band "Bucket List Players". Here is a video caught by a concert goer where we were playing at a community city sponsored outdoor concert: Here we are caught playing "Mustang Sally"

Here is a sample of Prague in March:

My heart hurts today in reading this. His obituary was so touching and included how his trumpet weaved through the love in his life. After reading how the loss of his wife had him reconnect with his trumpet opened a flood gate of tears from my eyes. I will miss your banter so much. You have enriched my life.

Just joined a Creol Band. Does that count? The Queen City Krewe Brass Band. Really cool AND demanding music!

My valves are working just fine: at 2:40

So an audience member took a pic of our 4th of July Performance for the Springboro Fireworks festival. Cannot believe I made it in 87 degree direct sun for 2 hours. The third hour of performance was in the shade of the high school behind us all the time playing the lead trumpet part on Earth Wind and Fire, Tower of Power, Chicago, Sade, James Brown, Stevie Wonder... etc charts. Place was packed with thousands of people.

Dale Proctor launched a welcoming post under Happy 4th of July in 2020 that met its end likely due to all of being in a funk as it was the first during Covid 4th, so not very much celebration with groups that year. I am not resurrecting it but rather once again presenting it with a more positive spin in that we are free again to celebrate. So with that perspective, I ask you all, What are you doing (related to the trumpet) for the 4th?

I was asked to sub for a good friend, excellent trumpet teacher/band director, and band mate for a big band we played in, that just found out he had an aortic aneurism and valvular heart condition needing urgent surgery. I was asked to replace him in his Rock Band: The Bucket List Players. Here is their web sit pic with may friend holding his trumpet on the far right.

We are playing for an event called: The Boro Boom, during which we play opening music for the fireworks display from 7 pm to 9:30 pm on the 4th. We start with the Star Spangled Banner, and interspersed are additional American Theme songs such as "Proud to Be an American", "Living in America" and of course our first song of the evening "Saturday in the Park".... I think it was the 4th of July!

All the best and happy playing for the 4th!

@hson-shrestha you are welcome.

@kehaulani-0 said in Headache because of out of tune music:

But if it persists, I would have a talk with my doctor since it could be something else.

If the stress persists, then so will the headache. If it is chronic and persistent, I have a great medication that works well in my parents wanting medical therapy.

I have played with musicians in tune that give me a headache.

But thank God we have musicians to come back to for healing:

@barliman2001 said in Moderator absent...:

@georgeb Indeed, Cefalù with Symphonioc Holidays is always a treat. It's a great little town, with spectacular volcanic beaches and a very steep Rock as background, an 11th century Cathedral, no cars - the roads are too narrow - and a plethora of wonderful restaurants. Combine that with rehearsal rooms from the 15th century and friends in the orchestra who regularly meet there... a dream come true.

Any links? Can we get a taste?

@vulgano-brother said in Punched in the Face:

Maxilla and mandible: Significant enlargement of the right masseter
muscle body with mild adjacent soft tissue swelling. No evidence of
an acute fracture or dislocation.

This finding suggests intramuscular bleed (muscular hematoma)

Is it safe to practice?
As long as your coagulation system is fine and you are not on blood thinners, it is safe to practice.

The question, is it safe to leave your apartment? It looks like Dr. GO may need to make another visit to Spokane to protect my favorite "Brother"! Stay safe man.

So when applied to the world of Medicine, Bots do not do so well:

ChatGPT, a popular artificial intelligence language-processing model, failed a gastroenterology self-assessment test several times in a recent study. Versions 3 and 4 of the chatbot scored only 65% and 62%, respectively, on the American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) Self-Assessment Test. The minimum passing grade is 70%.

Arvind J. Trindade, MD:: "You might expect a physician to score 99%, or at least 95%," lead author Arvind J. Trindade, MD, regional director of endoscopy at Northwell Health (Central Region) in New Hyde Park, New York, told Medscape Medical News in an interview.

Bottom Line (Pun intended): It's better to have Dr. GO insert the scope up your butt, then insert the AI up your bot!
