The BEST MOST IMPORTANT part of smoking the Christmas ham is the frequent basting!

This I know so well as I am truly a master baster!

To All: It's 9:44 and my 20 lb Christmas Ham is entering it's 3rd hour of smoking over Apple Wood at 350 degrees and glazed with brown sugar in pineapple juice, that gets basted every half hour, with fresh Apple Wood added every half hour as well.

The organist also had the brilliant idea of ending the performance as the congregation processed out with Te Deum, Prelude pour Trompette & Orgue by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704). While not a traditional Christmas piece, man did it make for a perfect finale to bring a Christmas Service to a close!

Finished my Christmas Performance at the Lutheran Church just a few hours ago, the last service ending about 12:15 AM! Two Services were played. One at 7 pm, the other started at 10:30 pm.

The organ/trumpet combo was just perfect. The organist arranged I play each hymn with the lyrical line the first verse, sit out the second verse (choir only sings) the descant vocal line for the third verse, and the trumpet descant part (the piccolo lines) for the forth verse. That REALLY was a nice way to present the parts as ending with the descant piccolo line really made the ending ring out in the church.

The power of Trumpetboards. Communication is everything. I do believe I am now appreciating an enhancement in communication and the solid reputation of all involved. Man I love this site!

The best to all of you as well. And a picture to share from the Generations Big Band Christmas Concert at the Milton Club this week:

I am the handsome Santa in the middle of the trumpet section behind the larger bell Harrelson trumpet.

The band donated ALL our proceeds from this concert (The collection of cover charge from the door and the Band sponsored 50/50 raffle) to Toys for Tots. Total the band donated: $1,000!

I promise, no frog or toad jokes!

Barliman2001, may you too have a Merry Merry. AND if you are in Dayton Ohio on the 24th, come join us in the one seat have left at the table. I am taking my entire wife's family (farmers) out to the Golden Lamb Inn (Oldest Inn in Ohio - 7 Presidents have slept there, and Sammuel Clemens) for Holiday Dinner. It's all on me.

Little known medical fact: Do diabetics realize the microfiliment test we use for detecting advanced diabetic neuropathy is #10 fishing wire?

Do fish swimming in caves only use minor scales?

Oh, fishy, fishy!

Don't fish do scales?

Mark Twain was so moved by the eloquent sermon that he was ready to give the $400 he had in his pocket, as soon as the collection plate came around. But the plate was delayed as the preacher droned on interminably. After 20 minutes into the sermon he thought of giving only $40. Another 20 minutes went by. Thoughts of giving dropped to $4. Final, after the another half hour of lengthy delay, the bask was finally pasted at which time Twain took a $5 bill from the plate.

How can you tell a frog from a horny toad?

A frog says: "Ribit, Ribit"

A horny toad says: "Rubit, Rubit"

Did you hear about the peanuts walking in Central Park....

One was a-salted.

We need pictures. Hope to see the horn in person at the next Cincinnati Trumpet Hang!

Hearkens back to a time when Doctors made house-calls and mouthpiece buzzed in their carriage underway.

The origin of the siren.
