Let me rub my legs together and see!

Only if you keep them together after the rubbing.

Has this site had basically crickets for participants lately or is there something wrong on my end. Inquiring minds want to know?

Man, I love these scenes. I really miss the cold, snowy weather (and warm, cozy hearths). Keep it up - as if, it seems, you wouldn't.

@Jolter

Why couldn't you sand and mold the mute's cork to fit the bell?

@ButchA said in Update on my "saving grace" mouthpiece...:

Wow... I owe a world of thanks to the user "Newell Post" for offering to sell me his Bach 10¾CW mouthpiece!

CW mouthpiece? What, is that for playing Bob Wills?

Thanks Franklin. Just curious.

I know that Shaye Cohn is Tuba Skinny's musical leader but is she also the administrative leader? By that mean, are Tuba Skinny and Shaye Cohn one and the same?

Does Trent not sound good on anything?

My solution was to kiss a lot . . of girls during my school years to help build more functional muscle.

I did push-ups with my lips.
I was a manly man.

. . . not.

Are you in the right thread?

I first heard him on Stan Kenton's The Stage Door Swings. He had a distinctive voice. He also has a cameo in the Goldblum/Whittaker movie about N.Y. first-call musicians, Lush Life. A one of a kind.

@Bob-Pixley
Yea thats what I (and everyone else ) played back in the day (10 1/2 C). Grabs high notes but I found an 8 1/2 C better and finally went to a Yam 11C4

Well, here we go in circles. Isn't a Yamaha 11C4, Yamaha's take on the Schilke 11?

Dayton Ohio where our house just over 4,000 sq ft is just under $400,000.

I empathise. When we bought our house in Hawai'i, it cost $17,000.00. When I visited the Islands recently, I visited that home and was told two similar houses on the same block sold recently for $90,000.00 and a cool million, respectively!

Worked with a big band, once, that was offered big bucks to play a New Year's Eve event and they turned it down because they wanted to spend it with their families. I was livid. Shows the differing approaches between free-lancers and guys with non-musical, full-time jobs.

@Vulgano-Brother said in Who did it better??:

There will always be those that do it better. Only one can be the first.

Reminds me of the quote from Zack and Miri Make a Porno, "There can only be one".

Where I'm from, we sell land by the square foot.

It also says the owner didn't go into music.
