If the question was what did Arnold mean, I would think one answer is HOW you sleep, not how long. Some people take longer than others to get to sleep, so their nine hours may actually be less quality than a six-hour sleeper. Or some "sleep" restlessly all night, while others sleep instantly.
Personally, I have spent most of my life going on about six hours of sleep a night but I fall asleep instantly.

In fact, (mice) are hyper-intelligent pan-dimensional beings who are searching for the ultimate question. It is this search that led to the creation of the Earth.

O.K. How about Betty Page?
Playing with people better than you can be a big eye opener. Perhaps one of the biggest eye openers with that for me, is not technical or musical stuff, but simply to see a role model for which the word "commitment" truly means.
If you know him and can communicate with him, I would suggest asking rowuk to participate. I miss his posts and, IMO, can do a lot of good.

To be blunt, I don't respect squat. It is dishonest. He is a poser, assuming the role of expert which would prey on the uninformed. There is no integrity.

The rest seem like the ones you'd find on eBay for under a hundred bucks, brand new with Mouthpiece and hard case.
Don't forget the white gloves. 
Top trumpets. What a douch bag.

If anybody's traveling abroad, the Umbria Jazz Festival in Perugia, Italy is one of the best. Ten days of festival with the biggest names in jazz. And if you're inclined - that's in late afternoon and at night - during the day Berklee School of Music runs concurrently a two week workshop. I've done both about four of five times. Outstanding music and a killer hang (not to mention the overabundance of pulchritude).
