RE: Stroke
Greetings~
I had a stroke "event" December 14, 2018. All I can say is, when it comes to recovery, be patient. I'm fortunate as I can still work, and have suffered no long term major disabilities. I have a vision loss in my upper right quadrant, a constant ringing in my ears and headaches. Still, at 61, I am active and have a new respect for age and life.
My return to trumpet playing has been a pleasant surprise in that there is no effects from the pressure of "buzzing"! So, onward. Enjoy what you have, we've no guarantees...Doug -

New member here. I've heard of this organization. They had representatives at both my brother and my father's funeral.
What is considered a fake bugle? -
Returning to my joy of music
Greetings and Salutations all! I'm happy to have found this resource.
My name is Doug. I hadn't played in over 40 years since High School. After having a mild stroke event in December of 2018, I found the "therapy" of playing trumpet! What a wonderful return to something I hadn't realized I was missing! I have a older Conn Victor from the mid 50's that's been waiting for my return and a recently purchased 80's Conn cornet with a shepherds crook that are my go to instruments. (Someday, maybe a Bach or a Yamaha.)
It's getting warmer here in central PA, I'm not sure if my neighbors are annoyed or entertained by my playing/practice with the windows open!!
