@BigDub said in Hello! Welcome to TB, who are you?:

Isn’t it great that we have 50 entirely different states, none of which represents the country in and of themselves?

Wasn't it 57 states in the previous administration?

Sentencing of Lynn Fogarty has been rescheduled to July 1, 2020.

A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office.
"Is it true," she wanted to know, that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?"
"'Yes, I'm afraid so,"' the doctor told her.
There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm wondering, then, just how serious is my condition because this prescription is marked 'NO REFILLS'.."

@Dr-Mark
At 83 I don't know how many years I have left, but I want to be a player for many more and I don't want the playing to stop because of a stupid injury.

@BigDub What?!?!? No salmon?!?

@BigDub Good art is said to be evocative. To have your painting immediately make me think of a salmon run is uncanny. Bravo!

Interesting timing, GeorgeB. I had my first cataract surgery a week before yours, and my next one is set for next Tuesday. My post-op instructions say normal activity is OK after a week. My experience with surgery in general is that full recovery takes a lot longer than predicted by my doctors, so I take a conservative approach. I may try to play this weekend to get a feel for what it's like, and Easy Does It is my plan. I registered for Taps Across America https://www.tapsacrossamerica.org/ today for Memorial Day 2023, but it remains to be seen If I'll be able to participate.

I wish you a remarkably good recovery and the best of health!

As for proof, is there pudding involved? If not, then, sorry.

Jellyfish pudding does not seem appetizing!

@Kehaulani said in Archive Retrieval Procedure For TM:

Pardon me for asking, ('cause I just don't know), but what is there of so much worth on TM that one wants to access or download?

Lots of comprehensive info on many subjects of interest and importance. I used the search function to find many things I wanted to review/revisit/clarify/update. I saw no such depth on anoTHer website.

When I joined Bugles Across America, I used my Getzen M2003 Field Trumpet, usually with the Bb tuning slide, sometimes with the G slide. Since selling it, I've used a regular valve trumpet instead, usually open, sometimes with the third valve depressed.

Live Taps beats something like this:

One of the police departments in my area will consider nothing other than electronic Taps, as they feel that no mistakes can be made by a recording.

@Vulgano-Brother It certainly should suppress unwanted noise.

This...

is music to my ears. I'd say it has its own melody, the overtones provide harmony, it definitely has distinctive timbre, there is a loose rhythm, and, a quality I consider essential to good music: it evokes a primal, emotional response.
