Please remember that there are minors amongst the members...

Coal, iron or diamond?

Come by, bring beer and your script pad...

How about I still come by with the beer and script pad? By the way, can I still write for controlled substances in your state with an Ohio license? If not, can you bring a pocket trumpet inserted in the cake when you visit me in my cell?

Looks about time for you to learn piccolo trumpet. Come by, bring beer and your script pad and I'll give you a lesson.

Update. Not needing the picc. The silver and gold Harrelson with the Gold Jettone Studio B copy mouthpiece sounds really great on the descant trumpet parts. I have rehearsed all the ones posted to the point that I can now get all of them right. Took me one day to accomplish this.

Now my task is to rehearse them to the point I cannot get them wrong. Hopefully I will be there by Wednesday when I rehearse with the choir and organist. Definitely within a week when I play for the Little Baby Jesus.

I discovered Suolo a few years ago. Just love their bucket mute. So seductive!

Thought I would share this recent one, just to send greetings to all for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

What a nice gift for all of us at TB. You can wrap my above gift in the standard brown paper bag. You have my mailing address!

What do you name an oriental woman with one leg shorter than the other?

Just received these Descant Trumpet parts for several Christmas Carols for the Lutheran performance. I am posting them hear to save time for any members from having to do a lengthy internet search. Enjoy:

To use an analogy though, you can get from New Hampshire to California in a BMW or a Volkswagen Beetle. It just depends on how you want to travel.

If there is snow on the passes I'll take the VW!

I'll take the higher priced helicopter, with 5mm rotor blades.

Who is KT? Thanks.

Certainly not King Trumpet!

@Vulgano-Brother said in Saw this in the Daily Mail passing through Heathrow Airport:

When in Germany I had a colleague (trombone player, but smarter than most) who had taken part in a study about lung capacity among brass players. The finding was that brass players don't really have bigger lungs, but can easily control the exhalation.

When I was in my hospital bed, I had my pocket trumpet with me. When I started circular breathing my pulse optometry increased by 6%! That positive end respiratory pressure really does open up more alveolar sacks.

I was always better at Math than English Literature, but Anatomy and Biology were my strongest subjects.

The only math equation I have remembered is:

The cube of the boob is directly proportional to the angle of the dangle. That of course does have anatomy and biology application, so we are all good here.

Medical Director?

Thanks Kehaulani. Correction made. Hard to get the day gig off the mind.

Medical Director?

This just in from the Musical Director at the Lutheran Church:

Four common carols: O Come all ye faithful - Hark the Herald - Angels we have heard - Joy to the World. These are all robust and call for trumpet descants. I'd like to propose a plan something like Melody verse 1, no trumpet verse two, descant for final verse. I've descants for both B flat and C trumpets for the four above. I would also like to have two featured numbers in the prelude: Gesu Bambino, with voice on the verses and trumpet on the refrain and the coda. Second number: O Holy Night (Cantique de Noel)

So it seems the Christmas Program is coming together.

@Vulgano-Brother said in A little humour:

@Dr-GO Hmmm. Perhaps a movie about a PhD Chemist who plays trumpet. Could be called Breaking Band.

Or a PhD Chemist who plays trumpet and works as a chef in a Mexican Restaurant.... "Breaking Wind"!

@Newell-Post said in A little humour:

Honestly... PhD Chemists make the BEST chefs!

@Vulgano-Brother said in Jazz Jams in Dayton:

Jazz is a dead language. Change my mind.

If you're a dead head... your mind will be changed. Jazz is the cure you know. I KNOW you have to be a Grateful Dead fan, and so am I. That band was my gateway into jazz you know.

Dayton's First Thursday's Jazz Jam has moved to a new venue starting January 2. For musicians in the Dayton and Cincinnati area, this is a great place to "cut your chops", with the Eddie Brookshire rhythm section backing you up and Kelli Campbell providing vocal textures. Life doesn't get any better than this:

@Dr-GO

New Age?

By new age (note: no caps), I meant a new age of musicians. I guess New Age (note: with caps) may have different contexts.
