@tjcombo
It is not easy. I can’t imagine doing what you are doing without a chart on every part to reference. Please post the finished product!

@Dale-Proctor
I put this together in a similar fashion. There was a lot of audio editing. By the time I was ready to do the video I was over it, especially since I was the audio and video guy as well as the performer.

@SSmith1226 Nice. Were the images from your photo library?

I will answer that question after the election.

Glad to hear that it was not necessary to change your email address! Hopefully all will go well with your next procedure with resultant excellent return of vision.

@barliman2002
Good luck and good wishes! I hope and expect that you will have a great outcome!

I went to my bank this morning and asked the cashier if I could make a withdrawal

He said yes

So I walked out

A number of years ago I was taking my kids to Disney World. As we approached the end of the highway exit, the sign said “Disney World Left”, so I turned around and drove home. My kids never forgave me.

Hetman black label ?
I have been using Hetman since 2016. Never heard of their black label. What distinguishes the black label from their green label bottles ?

The alcohol content?

There is a new technology developed by Google called “Tone Transfer”. Any sound can be digitalized and converted into a Violin, Flute, Saxophone, or TRUMPET Solo.
A YouTube Video summarizing and demonstrating this technology is below. There also is a link to try it out yourself.
Imagine what it will be in 10 years.

As a result of a post that Aaron Norlund (Trombahonker) made on TH, I had the opportunity to look and subscribe to his YouTube Site. The amount of outstanding instructional and informational video is overwhelming! This site is a dream come true for the serious student or comeback player in this era of social isolation. This is another, of several outstanding resources available on YouTube and other websites that many of us will benefit from.
IMO, he should be commended for his exceptional effort and accomplishment.

For those interested, the following are links to “Trombahonker’s Practice Studio”

@SSmith1226 Where is Gort when we really need him?

He must be a member of Trumpet Boards. As soon as this photo was posted, the site came back to life.

Ira Sullivan, a fantastic Jazz multi-instrumentalist died on September 21 at age 89. A year and one half ago I saw him him play Trumpet, Flugelhorn, as well as every variety of Saxophone and flute known to man during a performance in Florida. He was a great musician and a nice individual. He was very approachable.
Below is a link to an article from the Chicago Tribune reporting his death and summarizing his career. Also there are two videos below, the first featuring Ira Sullivan on Soprano Saxophone and the second on Flugelhorn.

If you have a spare $60,000 - $80,000 loose change available you might have a shot at buying one of Louis Armstrong’s trumpets from Christie’s Auction House. The details can be found in this Rolling Stone Article.

@IrishTrumpeter
We all thank you.

@SSmith1226 and co-conspirators, thanks, I enjoyed that very much.
Nice video editing too!

Thanks for the complements. On behalf of myself and the co-conspirators, which by the way is a very polite, proper, and appropriate term, we thank you for your very kind words.
