I think I've read enough about buzzing for now. I think I'll go play some ballads. George

Take requests? Do you know that old country love ballad, "If I Had To Do It All Over Again, I'd Do It All Over You?

Same here. I applied for a Mathematics Professor Chair at MIT and they didn't understood a word I was saying.

@Dr-Mark said in Having to play in too many sharps?:

All you have to do is keep the second valve down (except for Bb to and then mess around with valves 1 & 3 until you create something.

Doesn't have anything to do with mutes, rather "cheating" on fingering. One day Don Jacoby was sitting in with the North Texas One O'clock Band that had an ungodly modulation into a complex key. Everybody discreetly had an eye out for Jake to hear how he improvised in this "bad" key.

When it came time for Jake's solo, he reached across and pulled the tuning slide out so that the horn went into an easier key, played the solo, then put the slide back into its original position, LOL. Street smarts trumped the "correct" but more difficult way of playing.

@neal085 said in A little humour:
In Isaiah, it also mentions that God sits above the circle of the earth. Interesting verbiage in both instances.

If you're looking from above, the shape can be circular but that doesn't imply a globe. It could be flat, just circular vs. rectangle, square, etc. BTAIM, any sociologist knows the prevailing belief historically was that the Earth was flat. No argument.

Manny Klein suddenly standing up on the band bus and playing a bullfight fanfare on my borrowed pocket trumpet.

On a tour with Mendez, him falling backwards and disappearing behind the curtain but re-emerging, still playing. The audience went wild, thinking it was part of the show. He and the MD had found some of Mendez' favourite Tequila that afternoon.

Playing periodically for a regional home for the severely handicapped. It always had a funny smell and one group was so far gone that they were laid side-by-side in a bed like firewood. One guy always stared at me with menacing eyes. I thought he was going to spring up and attack me at any moment. Very unsettling, yet I persevered. I think the residents liked it because I kept coming back.

Going shopping for a trumpet with Jimmy Nottingham. What was touching was that he wanted me, light years behind him, to test out the horns because he had chop problems.

Having Maynard autograph my ex-girlfriend's photo because it was spontaneous and I didn't have any other paper . . . and I was high. Maynard thought it was funny.

Thank you. I'll quote my facebook page:

"I would like to thank those who expressed concern at my silence. I can't write everyone personally, so please understand it's meant for you, personally, at any rate.

I have had serious sight challenges (seven recent eye operations) and resulting in sightlessness for some time. Talk about terrifying.
At any rate, thank you, again. Response will be sporadic but full of gratitude, in any case."

K-

Could I make a reminder, and that is being an administrator of a site can mean a lot of thankless work. So many want to bitch but expect someone else to do all the work. It's a work in progress. Give the guy a chance.

p.s. Does anybody else want to do all the work. And for free?

@georgeb said in [Artist on BOARD

But be careful not to drink too much. I once did a watercolor after consuming several ounces of Jack Daniels and well...what a royal mess.

A little off-topic but om his theme - I once drank a bit much, recorded myself playing, with play-along orchestral background, a Mozart Horn concerto. Listened to the playback the next day. Didn't play the horn again for at least a year.

@tmd said in Please Help Me Understand Something (Pt 2).
The passive-aggression is so thick in this thread, you can cut it with a knife.

Ditto.
Also, I don't see the point in presumptuous and judgmental.

恥知らずなプロ、otio、当社の製品を購入してください。

I have a guilty pleasure - disco. Maybe it just comes from playing so much, but it's fun to play.

Those nostalgia photos made me grin. So here's one of my first pop band, "The Tikis". Dig the instrumentation, LOL. (One of the guitar players played piano though, the guitar for photo convenience. Still . . )

@ROWUK said in Do You Prefer Classical, Jazz, Rock or Other?:
I have no specific preference, it just has to be artistically rewarding. . ".

Like Duke said, "There are only two kinds of music, good and bad."

" . . one of the things he liked about the Committee was how the spit valves kept the sound moist."

LOL.
Another love/hate relationship. This'll be my fourth, and last, Committee. I figure with that and my Benge, I've got all my bases covered. Time to spend less time searching and more time playing.

IMO, this is not arbitrary as other topics' opinions might be. It's solidarity and compassion about what is clearly immoral and despicable.

Look at a Monet and simultaneously listen to Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun and you can intuit it.

It's a play on words on the old elocution exercise, "The rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain".

There's (or was) a well-known Rogers & Hammerstein song in "My Fair Lady" that uses it.

Barliman - the pole dancer they were going to use got waylaid at the last minute. Otherwise, there would have been no complaints.

Print is still too light. Is there a way to darken it?
