Seems to be working. I'll have to do it on several threads and different times to make sure, but seems to be. Thank you.

@administrator yes, I am still having problems. Can't start a new thread.

@smoothoperator - that was the first solo I learned when I was starting out.

Those Couf Superba's are excellent horns. Had a Couf alto.

On tenor, had Keilwerth, Selmer, Yamaha and Conn. Eventually settled of Selmer Alto and Keilworth Tenor.

But we could go on ad naseum. Bottom line. if you're just starting out and don't even know if you'll stick with it, the Yamaha probably has the best compromise horn. And it has good resale value if you change your mind.

Today Chet Baker, tomorrow, the world.
Nice way to put your free time to use, tj.

@administrator said in Guilty Pleasure Listening:
Was part of the "sound" of the Shaggs no sense of time?

They were just inept and forced into it by a father who must've lived in an alternate universe. You can google them. BTW, Frank Zappa gave them kudos.

I don't feel guilty about listen to the Sex Pistols, Mike, that's why it's not on the list.

I've mentioned before, but I have "guilty pleasure" in liking "The Shaggs".

I suppose, for some it might be considered 'guilty", but I like "Saturday Night Fever".

@bigdub - O'K., no critique on pain on death . Nice musicality, Dub.

@richard-iii said in Why not another thread about bigger horns ?:
And one of the reasons there isn't more interest in this thread is that most people aren't interested in things other than trumpets on these sites.

Funny thing to find on a trumpet forum.

@tjcombo - that's a favourite of mine, too.

I actually got hooked on this stuff when I was working disco/soul bands in Germany. After an evening of playing loud, high-energy tunes, I would enjoy driving through the peaceful countryside at 01:00 or 02:00 in the morning listening to this. At first, it was just tongue-in-cheek, but it became a perfect way to come down before getting home.

Can't post independently, so posting here (sorry),

I am suddenly not able (this is an exception) to create a post on someone else's thread.

Did you search YouTube?

If I were you, I'd check with Jim Becker at Osmun Music. If he doesn't know, I don't know who would.

Miles - So What
Harry James- You made Me Love You
Louis Armstrong - Hello Dolly

Louis Prima - Sing, Sing, Sing
Chuck Mangione - Feel So Good

Clark Terry - Mumbles
Clifford Brown - Joy Spring
Chet Baker - My Funny Valentine

If it were me, I'd guess I was overthinking it. If you've been playing another horn and adopting to it's idiosyncracies (sp?), I would expect to feel a difference if I picked up a horn I hadn't been playing for a while.
