"Daily" is correct. "On a daily basis" is superfluous.

Q. What do you call the person who graduated last in class from medical school?

A. "Doctor".

I call it "The Queen's English" because, well, there's a Queen now. When there's a king, I'll call it "The King's English".

As an aside, I have long felt that Queen Elizabeth is determined to outlive Prince Charles, so that he will never be King. Just my jaundiced, cynical opinion....

What`s the difference between a baroque trumpeter and a dressmaker?
A dressmaker tucks up frills.

However, maybe if the trumpet player wasn't baroque, the trills would be fixed up!

Tell me if you heard this one:
A drummer walked past the bar...

Maybe he just ate some beans. You know... "The more you eat, the more you toot."

This...

is music to my ears. I'd say it has its own melody, the overtones provide harmony, it definitely has distinctive timbre, there is a loose rhythm, and, a quality I consider essential to good music: it evokes a primal, emotional response.

Using "between" instead of "among". Example: "I had to choose between the three of them."

Swordfish. Or are you thinking "swordfish fish"?

@Dr-GO I thought of including Herb Alpert and especially Chris Botti because of his past Bebop chops in the past, but both these guys made it big in Pop, rather than Jazz, so I didn't include their names in my post.

Perhaps Roy Hargrove is trading fours with Gabriel these days.

Would Doc Severinsen qualify? What about Jon Faddis? James Morrison? Conte and Pete Candoli? Maybe Lew Soloff? How about Billy Butterfield and Ruby Braff?

From the link, concerning Roy Hargrove: "On the recording front, Hargrove has been quiet in recent years but he remains a formable player." I'm not sure what a "formable player" is, but there's a reason he's been quiet lately.

I have a couple of Kelly 3C's for cold weather work. I suspect that they'd be fine under the hot Sun, too. It's no fun putting a blisteringly hot mouthpiece to one's lips! I do find that they insulate, rather than conduct, so using them during moderate temperatures gives me the sensation of heating my lips, and I prefer the heat from my lips to be absorbed, rather than reflected.

They work like metal mouthpieces in every way, except for a slight lessening of complex overtones; the timbre is very slightly less full, but not enough to concern me, and not enough for most listeners to notice.

Using a plastic mouthpiece will change the balance of the horn, as it weighs significantly less than brass, and mute work is affected as well.

Kelly offers an inexpensive way to try some different mouthpiece sizes, and quality and durability are top notch, in my experience.

I see an oddball woodwind instrument with no taper after the mouthpiece. Haven't found anything quite like it in my search.

@Tobylou8 Swingin'!

@moshe Ah, but she has the strength to overcome it all.

As a visitor, I found Notre-Dame de Paris one of the most peaceful places I have ever been. I'm glad restoration is planned. I have no doubt that it will be done magnificently.

@moshe Yup to attitude and wit. The last time I had my testosterone levels checked, they were normal.
Give the girl a couple of double cheeseburgers and an extra large malted shake, if that's what you're driving at.

@moshe Great attitude. Great wit.

During his previous heyday, TW emphasized his wood strokes away from the game and did exceedingly well. Then he hit the doldrums when his method of practice was called out, and he didn't try to score a hole in one for many years. Perhaps he's back in the swing of things now, giving his balls plenty of action.

Here's a demonstration of how to play a Bundy trumpet by ear:

I love the "Greg Gutfeld Show". It gives my abs and the corners of my mouth a good workout.

For those of us who don't like to scrub out horns on a regular basis, one good scrub, followed by Herco Spitballs once a week will keep the nasties out, especially when combined with good oral hygiene. The only horns I have to scrub are the newly acquired ones. Once done, I inspect the insides periodically to find them clean every time.
