@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.

... giving it that authentic "smoky sound"....

Cat... the other white meat. Tastes like chicken!

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

Oops! I misspelled rhythm.

It appears that this started about a year ago. In checking, I noticed something else. It looks like there are many "members" who have zero posts. Should there be a requirement to post within a specified period pf time? Otherwise, what is the benefit of becoming a member in the first place? If you're not going to post, why join? Are these zero post "members" even legit?

I'm not computer-savvy enough to know what the underlying harm might be from these intrusions, but this bears further investigation.

The one I remember the most is: "My daddy's rich, my mama's good lookin', I've never had a bad day in my life, and I can still play the blues."

@ssmith1226 Quite a story! Thanks for posting the link.

@dale-proctor said in Real Strad?:

It’s a real Bach, a model 182 made in their Eastlake, Ohio facility around 2007. The bells read “Handcrafted in the U.S.A”.

“The Bach Stradivarius model 182 trumpet features a standard weight #37 one piece bell and #25 leadpipe, a lightweight body and a .459” bore. This particular combination, along with traditional Bach design values and classic features, responds quickly and delivers a quality of sound that is distinctly Bach. The instrument outfit includes a genuine gold plated Vincent Bach mouthpiece and a professional classic style case. The instrument is available in bright silver plate.”

After reading your post, I found this on eBay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/284652696896?epid=8052393000&hash=item42469f7540%3Ag%3ANzkAAOSwwzZiCa2a&nma=true&si=4rhGi5j7KVyF1AJ%252F6wZShPrdhfI%253D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

I agree that it looks suspicious at best.

Nice looking horn and case. Does it live up to its name? In what condition are the valves? What does the inside of the tubing look like? Enquiring minds want to know.
