@GeorgeB - I have a friend who plays first trumpet in a community orchestra and he's played his Capri for at least 20 years and loves it.

Do away with Electoral College, and we'll have a true democracy, which is defined by two wolves and a sheep voting on what's for dinner.

Excellent analogy J.

No it's not. It presupposes that the third party is a lamb. What if they're all wolves or all sheep? Works in other counties and is a heck of a lot more democratic. I'm tired of the premise of "one man, one vote" being a farce.

Well, this takes the cake. I got a new Getzen Classic, lacquered not silver, and it can do just about anything. I've always been curious about the lacquer vs. silver. Now, some say that it makes no difference what the finish is, they both sound the same. So maybe it's just the horn or there is really a difference in sound because of the finishes, but this horn has a great sound.

All Classics/Severinsens I've played have been good horns and pretty versatile, but I've always felt there is a dividing line below which a silver Severinsen just can't go. That's putting into a purely classical realm. But not with this particular horn. It plays the full spectrum.

It's become my go-to horn. I got the Yamaha Shew for its agility and because it's the lightest horn I've ever had and I'm not the strongest guy on the block, (strokes) but I've never been content with the Shew's sound. But the Getzen is light enough and the sound is more substantial.

So, I guess this is THE one.

Nix an electoral college, OK?

That and term limits for congressmen/women.

Rawhide.

Very tasty, all the way around.

Sorry, but I couldn't disagree more.

You can't agree or disagree unless you know what the circumstances are which you don't.

NO ! But, I bet you could tell some really interesting stories to youngsters of what and what not to do before considering the taking of vows.

Yeah. Don't get married.

Good luck with the blood thinners. I've ben on them for serval years, with no negative consequences (so far).

George, sometimes it just takes time for the body to get adjusted to a new medication. I wouldn't jump to any conclusions yet.

That was easy enough.

Ah, 3 marriages and 3 significant others. That adds up to about 57 years. Does that count?

$2500. for someone's life. Great.

@Dr-GO said in Caring for Silver Plate Horns:
I have noted this as well. I have kept my horns now mounted on a wall (slat board with supports) for 5 years and they do not tarnish near as often.

No tarnish but they're filled with cockroaches.

Puffer-bellies were so cool. Across the street from my apartments was a ravine and the puffer-bellies used to come by. We would put pennies on the track so the train would flatten them. And we would wave at the Conductor, who always waved back. Tom Sawyer days.

Can BAC make replaceable part?
