I'm too busy right now, but I will see what I can do later. I guess I'm ducking! LOL

@Dr-GO You quack me up!!

@Dr-GO I have TWO Getzen 900Hs and TWO Martin Committees. I don't know if that would be "fair" to you!

I think it is fine the way it is. I do not like the degrading way some members treat other members, but that is on them. We all have noses and noses are just like opinions. All work, no play, makes Jack a dull boy. I've never been on any forum that did not have a non topic related area for miscellaneous discussions. ALL trumpet only would leave a lot of recreational players on the sidelines that don't feel competent to reply. I tracked down the owner of TM and had zero results in making contact with him. He may have simply gotten bored with it, who knows. There were some really wild stories circulating at THe oTHer site! LOL I like the idea of a trumpet competition on TB. Although with my work schedule now I don't know if I would dare compete. Too many rules and it won't be enforceable, too few rules and some will run roughshod over others. I do think members should be civil to each other and if they can't, THere is a place for "oneupmanship" and name calling. For me, it is not a pleasant forum as the simplest question can be met with ridicule and derision from players that aren't even "players", just forum trolls. In closing, I like it pretty much the way it is, and I do like the competition idea of Dr. Mark as long as we can all get along.

Oh man, I've been BUSY the last 6 weeks, really busy and haven't been able to post. Anything interesting going on? I can play my scales. Any mpc discussions??

A PLANE IS ON ITS WAY TO TORONTO , WHEN A BLONDE IN ECONOMY CLASS GETS UP AND MOVES TO THE FIRST CLASS SECTION AND SITS DOWN.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT WATCHES HER DO THIS AND ASKS TO SEE HER TICKET.

SHE THEN TELLS THE BLONDE THAT SHE PAID FOR ECONOMY CLASS AND THAT SHE WILL HAVE TO SIT IN THE BACK.

THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT GOES INTO THE COCKPIT AND TELLS THE PILOT AND THE CO-PILOT THAT THERE IS A BLONDE BIMBO SITTING IN FIRST CLASS, THAT BELONGS IN ECONOMY AND WON'T MOVE BACK TO HER SEAT.

THE CO-PILOT GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT BECAUSE SHE ONLY PAID FOR ECONOMY SHE WILL HAVE TO LEAVE AND RETURN TO HER SEAT.

THE BLONDE REPLIES, "I'M BLONDE, I'M BEAUTIFUL, I'M GOING TO TORONTO AND I'M STAYING RIGHT HERE."

THE CO-PILOT TELLS THE PILOT THAT HE PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE THE POLICE WAITING WHEN THEY LAND TO ARREST THIS BLONDE WOMAN WHO WON'T LISTEN TO REASON.

THE PILOT SAYS, "YOU SAY SHE IS A BLONDE? I'LL
HANDLE THIS, I'M MARRIED TO A BLONDE. I SPEAK BLONDE."

HE GOES BACK TO THE BLONDE AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR, AND SHE SAYS, "OH, I'M SORRY." AND GETS UP AND GOES BACK TO HER SEAT IN ECONOMY.

THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT AND CO-PILOT ARE AMAZED AND ASKED HIM WHAT HE SAID TO MAKE HER MOVE WITHOUT ANY FUSS.

"I TOLD HER, 'FIRST CLASS ISN'T GOING TO TORONTO."

@oldpete said in Detroit Symphony DSO Replay is free for a while:

That "Russian Sailor's Dance" in the encores section was very fine

BRAVO!!!!

I knew it was coming up but with all that is going on I forgot to wish TB a Happy Birthday! Happy Birthday TB!! You're one year old and growing. I look forward to many more !

No band for 2 weeks. Don't know about the 31st though. We'll see.

@BigDub said in Artist on BOARD:

A very old vintage painting I did which involved some combining of images....just saying, I did not actually see this scene as it appears except when I painted it that way! We are looking at something from around 1980 here.

Owl bet that's one of your best wildlife paintings! It's a hoot!!

I tell ya, those cases for these horns.... wood with leather veneer and a piece of cloth to lay on!

Lost me at "valve stem"! Now if the OP had said, "bottom valve caps"......

I own a 1960 Super Artist and it's immaculate. It plays well and has a big sound to me. It was a students horn whose parents were well to do. Too much horn for a kid imo. It has a .468 bore but doesn't suck the life out of you. It is a little heavier than most my other Bb's but it is a fun horn to play. I haven't played it in a while and the only thing I can remember was 2nd valve sticking once in a while. I've seen them go for $2500 but that's been 10 yrs ago. It's a good horn imo. I would take that valve cover off though. Let us know what happens! BTW, outside of Clifford Brown, I don'r know who else with a big name used them.

What do you call a guy with a rubber toe???

Roberto!!

What does a nut say when it sneezes??

Cashew

I really wanted a camouflage shirt.

But I couldn't find one!!
