My wife's cousin was Salutatorian in her class, but she has the common sense of a chipmunk... and she graduated from college over 40 years ago.

@SSmith1226 I'd be interested in taking a look at your ensemble arrangements.

Funny how no one is shaming fat old men in speedos.......
Really, though - what’s the problem with old ladies with tattoos? I intend to be one eventually, and feel zero shame about it.How about any men in Speedos? If it ain't worth looking at, cover it up! Packaging can do wonders for visual appeal.
I'm not a fan of skin tattoos. To my eye they reduce whatever appeal there was to the human form. As for other tattoos...

RE: YouTube Suggestion
@georgeb Thank you for your kind words. I've seen a couple of Morrison's instructive videos; I'll have to check out the rest.

Is this what is meant by "choking the chicken"?

RE: Purchased Olds Super.. cracked bell rim, no ring when flicked
Straightening the bell, followed by cleaning and filling the crack presents a number of difficulties that make the job risky. You might end up with a trumpet that plays worse as a result after the wasted effort. I wonder what caused the crack in the first place. The tone ring should do a great job of keeping things together indefinitely.
Unless you have a specific musical part the requires you to flick the bell of your trumpet, don't worry about it. As Trumpetsplus (who should indeed know) mentioned, some bells ring, and some bells don't; I don't believe it's an indication of any aspect of playability.
It looks like a good horn. What I can see of the valves looks pretty good. Enjoy your new trumpet, and dismiss any concerns about it.

Besides the enjoyment of hearing these, there's something to be learned from each one.

VINTAGE HORN EYE CANDY?
I don't see it.
IF you look real close, you should see a bugle.
I thought the purpose of the picture is to eye Candy. That is her name, right?
Eye?... don't know for sure.
Perhaps you're having a hard time visualizing.

RE: Trumpet Board Remote Performance
Good job, Steve! The amount of work it took shows in the finished product. I imagine playing the piccolo trumpet and the digideroo each require a slightly different technique.

RE: A little humour
@SSmith1226 A friend of mine in college used to laugh his ass off (pun intended) listening to this.
