@GeorgeB I'd never seen that movie either, but that song probably makes it worth watching.

The tune popped up on my Spotify feed one day and immediately caused me to wonder how I'd never heard it before.

Friends of mine just got back from a cruise. Said they bought a slice of pie for $3.00 in Jamaica, but paid over $7.00 for the same pie in the Bahamas.

Anyway, those are the pie rates of the Caribbean.

@Kehaulani said in Help! I need to hit that high note!:

Played better than a lot at North Texas, not as good as others.

Did you play in the One O'Clock Lab Band?

This is always great.

Interesting article, VB. I hadn't heard of the singing on your back before, but I'm going to try that.

This isn't a very scientific response, but from experience I can tell an immediate and beneficial relationship between singing and playing trumpet.

@Newell-Post ....

How to tell you're among former TM'ers: A Star Trek thread turns into Monty Python. Now, would someone bring me a shrubbery?

@Pinstriper A joke? Oh... uh, let me make a phone call. If Guido shows, tell him we are now Code Blue, I repeat Code Blue.

@BigDub Big Brother just making sure you were playing in tune, but also curious what MP you were using.

@administrator No, I had been searching off and on the last few months for other trumpet-related forums, and couldn't quite bring myself to join TH just because.....I couldn't. Yesterday a Reddit post randomly showed up that said TB is the new TM.

Howdy, boys (and girls). I somehow just discovered this today. I see lots of friendly avatars from 7+ years of TM-ing, including Vulgano Brother, who is neither Vulgano, nor my brother, but we can still love him for who he is and the work he does. I see TobyLou notified pretty much everyone else but me 6 months ago. No hard feelings though, Toby. You should see Guido sometime after 11:00 this evening.

Dang, this feels like coming home.

A few quick questions: How can I improve my range in 3 easy steps, but only practicing 5 minutes a day? Is double high C the one below the staff? Miles Davis or Freddie Hubbard? Is there balm in Gilead? Where does Rowuk hide his secret collection of P.E.T.E.s? Here's a video of me playing a song I've never practiced before, can you please critique? Is Kenny G still considered the best jazz artist of all time? Oh, and where's the Argument Clinic?

Controversial opinion of the day: Game of Thrones is dumb - change my mind.

Put away your pitchforks; that was a joke.

Alright, I'm here. Let the loud screaming sword fight begin!
