@mike-ansberry Alice Cooper is not a guilty pleasure; nothing to feel guilty about enjoying his stuff!

@dale-proctor And all are played using the same principles. And if you have the chops, you can play them all.

This is the best I could find: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Live-at-the-Sands-Before-Frank-Sinatra-Count-Basie-CD-1998-Warner-SHIPS-FROM-USA/114494609714?epid=3283074&hash=item1aa8691932:g:4nQAAMXQlUNRPNB~&shqty=1&isGTR=1#shId Price plus shipping converts to 57.63 AUD. Others are more expensive.

When stress gets oppressive, I listen to New Age music. I find it on Sirius/XM Spa Channel 68.

@j-jericho Have you guys ever tried absinthe? It tastes like a Listerine and Nyquil cocktail.

Yummy!

@administrator Unless I'm imagining things, it appears that there is less of a distinction/separation between posts on the forum now. They seem to run together vertically.

Its a shame that Lee Morgan died so young, "The Sidewinder" could be on the list.

I nominate this one :

@SSmith1226 Just the thig to go with Poo Pouri!

I've got several trumpet books coming in the mail.

I'm a fan of the Rubank method. It leads you through the basics and beyond, constantly building upon what you learn as you go along, so success comes early and progressively, building both ability and confidence. It also introduces musicality right away, so you're not just playing notes and exercises; you're playing in a musical context.

A good test would be to swab out the accumulated moisture from a horn you play on a daily basis, and try to detect a difference. Play. Swab. Play again.

I don’t think swabbing it would make it dry enough. It has to set up a while and really dry out.

I use rolled-up paper towels to dry the insides after cleaning; they're dry when I'm done. To dry the bell crook, judicious use of a hair blow dryer so as not to cook the horn would take no more than a few minutes.

@SSmith1226 Watching this video on YouTube brings up a stream of suggested similar videos, which, if you watch them one after another, will give you a good ab workout from all the laughing. My personal favorite for the Christmas holiday season has been anything by Bob Rivers, but a search for Christmas parody songs will bring up plenty of new parodies, too.

@SSmith1226 I guess he was able to multitask, combining trumpet playing with embezzling.
