Don't know the songs, but I'd check out Bessie Smith, The Blues: A Smithsonian Collection of Classic Blues Singers and Blind Lemon Chitlin.

New Age? Hardly. its This is Latin - and heavily. New Age is Enya, Steve Halperin, Liz Story, George Winston and the like.

BTAIM, I wish I had the trumpeter's gig and chops.

Arirang - played it in Korea many times. I don't think it's official, but it's so popular, and centuries old, that many consider it the National Anthem of Korea. Nice setting.

p.s. I don't know what the other two posts have to do with Arirang but, what the hey.

Got my yearly quota of Schneeflocken, Oblaten and Stollen.

@Dr-GO Not funny.

I got into a taxi and told the driver, "Take me somewhere where I can get lucky".
He took me to my house.

I did a chamber music program for the patients in a hospital here in Munich . .

Bless you. When in Germany, I used to perform regularly for folks at a reginal (RheinlandPfalz) home for the severely handicapped. They can use the help.

Another surgeon dies and arrives at the Pearly Gates and Saint Peter asks,
"How have you been doing?" He answers, "Well, I make $3,000.00 dollars a month, live in a three story house, and drive a Mercedes."
"Oh, a surgeon, pass through."

Another person arrives, and "Saint Peter asks,
"How have you been doing?" He answers, "Well, I make $2,000.00 dollars a month, live in a two story house, and drive a BMW."
"Oh, an Administrator, pass through."

Yet another person arrives, and "Saint Peter also asks,
"How have you been doing?" He answers, "Well, I make $300.00 dollars a month, share an apartment with three other guys, and drive an old Pinto."
"Cool, a musician, welcome."

He's on hiatus for the foreseeable future due to work load.

I would be surprised if that was the only reason.

@Dr-GO
It will be my 46th Christmas eve playing, all of them in Lutheran churches except for 1984 at what turned out to be the last Christmas Eve for a reconstruction-era "German Reformed" parish - I guess too many members defected to those new-fangled Lutherans...

Just for general knowledge, the Lutherans did not succeed the Reformed. They evolved with different leaders in different geographica regionsl, for the most part, at the same time.

Oh, hah, hah.

Well, at any rate, I would still love to hear the Eastern liturgy. Heard it in Greece and in Russia. Very emotional.

@Dr-GO said in Christmas Services:

I remember a call out to TM members a year and a half ago for how to succeed in getting the nod to play an Eastern Service for a Lutheran Church in a nearby city.

Just wondering. The Lutheran Church is not in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, rather in the western Roman Catholic heritage. Therefore, it would be highly unlikely for a Lutheran church to give an Eastern Service.

Although that would be, at least for me, moving and interesting. I love the Eastern liturgy. But is this what you meant? An Eastern Orthodox service in a western Lutheran church?

@tjveloce Yes. Well, in that case then, I would definitely take it to a repairman and have them add larger corks then sand them down a bit to fit perfectly, yet not affect the sound.

Marching through Red Square. First western military unit to do so.

Playing at D-Day anniversary at Normandy with Walter Cronkite and Pres. Reagan.

Do you need to use a mute for each horn and/or a mute for the Committee sanded down? It just takes a few minutes.

Franklin, you can use whatever works for you. But some exercises have certain intervals or patterns that challenge you in differing things. Bai Lin slurs have a different goal for your chops than Laurie Frinks.

If these aren't written down chances are you won't know about them. Unless, of course, somebody plays them for you to copy. Which doesn't happen often and also keeps that idea from wide exposure.

@Kehaulani

Making a living from playing alone is not a threshold to being a "professional".
Better check your dictionary.

@Dr-GO said in The One:

. . for Miles and Chris Botti, as if you look at many of the pics of them playing, there is no third valve slide on their Martins.

It's not a Davis or Botti thing. It's a Committee thing.
