We also seem to have a lot of joiners that have never posted. It would be nice if they would participate.

I have been very busy with business and now grandchildren. I've been checking in occasionally though and posting.

We have D, half round, round, ovate and pretty much whatever shaped tuning slides, each promising (and delivering) something different.

Do fluid dynamics play any role?

Depends on how much one drools!

I hated my 7C all through school, The bite was too sharp for my liking but what's a kid to do? Knowledge is readily accessible today and the choice a little less mysterious. I favor the "proportional route" and matching the rim diameter to the lips as much a possible. Smaller lips should get a smaller rim. Here a link to Storks site and his how to choose a mouthpiece section. Hope it helps. https://storkcustom.com/how-to-choose-a-mouthpiece/

Why does Snoop Dogg carry an umbrella?

Nice playing. I still can't wrap my mind around why anybody would voluntarily listen to "Gonna Fly Now." I really dislike that song.

It's all a part of the "Rocky" persona. Rocky Balboa is the "every man", blue collar guy that gets a shot and makes it. The song fits with the era and works well within the movie. W/O the movie behind it, it's not much. Personally, I like the Anthem better. Crank IT!!!!

Well duh!! It's a 2B and they're scarce anyway. The guy next to me plays his and it sounds great. He's 93 and the original owner! Give yourself a Christmas present for doing such a great job with TB!!!

A woman who is 3 months pregnant falls into a coma. 6 months later she awakes and asks the doctor about her baby.

Doctor: You had twins, a boy an a girl, and they are both fine. Luckily, your brother named them for you!

Woman: Oh no, not my brother, he's an idiot! What did he name the girl?

Doctor: Denise.

Woman: Well, that isn't so bad. What did he name the boy?

Doctor: Denephew!

Here's live, no studio "help" or takes. He's still amazing!

Finally some new stuff from Louis just in time for Christmas!!!

@Dr-GO Hmmm. Perhaps a movie about a PhD Chemist who plays trumpet. Could be called Breaking Band.

Or a PhD Chemist who plays trumpet and works as a chef in a Mexican Restaurant.... "Breaking Wind"!

That's a crappy idea!

What did master Yoda say when he first saw himself in 4K???

Uhh, from YouTube.

I got tired listening!!!

But what about the rest of us! I don't even know what is is/was?? I'm left wondering on what merriment I've been excluded from simply for not checking in on Thursday!
