@administrator As to "a basement chock full of trumpets"... I once knew a guy in Ireland who collected Martin Committees... had the house full of them. When I met him (some fifteen years ago), the count stood at 565 (yes, indeed, five hundred and sixty five Committees), all of them unplayed, still in the original cellophane wrapping, with factory papers and everything. He could not even play (clarinet guy)...
@seth-of-lagos What do you think of this? https://www.johnbarry.org.uk/index.php/snippets/item/900-who-played-trumpet-on-the-bond-scores-1962-1974 Do you recognize any of the names you didn't already mention? If they played for John Barry, might they have played for Edwin Astley, too?

Who played lead trumpet in Edwin Astley's orchestra on the original "Danger Man" theme (0:00 - 4:53)?
Are you sure that the original (ie series 1) Danger Man theme was played by Edwin Astley's orchestra?
My Dad had the Parlophone recording (1961?) by the Red Price Combo - a one hit wonder. But Red Price played (tenor sax) mainly with Ted Heath so maybe (going off links like https://www.discogs.com/master/576628-Ted-Heath-And-His-Music-Ted-Heath-Recalls-The-Fabulous-Dorseys) one might speculate Bert Ezard?, Bobby Pratt? Duncan Campbell?, Eddie Blair?
I was hoping you'd respond, since you're familiar with that part of the world (and at least one other) and the approximate time frame, that you would have some insight into my question.
Edwin Astley wrote both "Theme From Danger Man" and "High Wire" for the series. I would think that since he had his own orchestra and used it for all the musical accompaniment for the program, that he would have used it for the themes as well. His orchestra did play "High Wire", and to my ear it has the same continuity of sound as "Theme" and "The Saint", unlike other recordings by Red Price, Ted Heath, and others who covered the tunes, and with whom the players you mentioned were associated.
It just now occurred to me that Edwin Astley and John Barry created very similar sounds (at least the way I hear their arrangements). I wonder if there were musicians who played in both men's orchestras....

What if the teacher had used an Olds trombone?
@ssmith1226 said in TrumpetBoards.com Quiz:
You hit the nail on the head. Yesterday, a good friend of mine, and fellow trumpet player from Miami, sent me this link to the Library of Congress’s “National JukeBox”
( https://www.loc.gov/collections/national-jukebox/about-this-collection/ ). One of the first recordings I stumbled across was Herbert L Clarke’s May 18, 2012 revording of “Southern Cross”.
Your prize for answering correctly is your own personal Sousa Band Concert recorded in the early 1900’s. The link to this, in the National Juke Box is immediately below. The specifics about the Herbert L Clarke recording is below the link.The JJericho, AKA Rick Martin, Grand Prize Sousa Concert:
Nice prize. Thank you!

That 5A enables a soft, flugelhorn sound. Different. Pleasant.
I have autographs from Chris Botti and Doc Severinsen. They're not rare, by any measure, but I like them.

@administrator I prefer 24-hour time for the reasons; it's a logical arrangement to me.
@Newell-Post Why is 00:00 a problem?
Thoughts for the day: Thanks to DST, noon occurs at 13:00/1:00 PM; midnight occurs at 01:00/1:00 AM. The Powers That Be hated DST (as do I and always have), so they made it permanent.
Some people refer to midnight and noon as 12:00 AM and 12:00 PM, respectively. 12:00 AM is by definition 12 hours before noon, and 12:00 PM is 12 hours after noon, thus making them both the same: midnight*.
*See paragraph 1.

I love them so much that when I move on to the next plane, I made sure my wife knows to place my ashes in the '67 Recording.

@ssmith1226 I see you've been busy. Superbly done!
