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.

Remember this the next time you play a gig.
Interesting story. Is Mayfield an embezzler whose hobby is trumpet playing, or is he a trumpet player whose hobby is embezzling? Enquiring minds want to know.
It looks more like a commemorative work of art that can be played, rather than a trumpet that is made as a commemoration.
No discussion about bigger horns would be complete without this:

I meet Classic FM's definition of choleric, but definitely not Merriam-Webster's.

I see you've been chugging Absinthe again, Steve.

Oh, man, hard to beat that one...Try this!
Is this what is meant by "choking the chicken"?
