Explore the blues scale.

I usually don't play cornet, but when I do it is my old Holton with a period mouthpiece.

Another TM refugee here...

Did you hear about the music director that survived a lightning strike?

He was a poor conductor.

How I earned my way through college. On C trumpet.

Our sax player was from Mississippi, and it took around six months to understand his talk.

I bought a Christmas tree today. The salesman asked if I was putting it up myself. I said, "No, in the living room."

I am a great Bible expert and even know the name of Noah's wife. It was Joan. Joan of Arc.

If you like yodeling....

I asked my shrink if I was an Idiot-Savant and he told me I wasn't smart enough.

@trumpetsplus I've noticed that the mouthpieces that work best on a given trumpet, the ones that make the trumpet "sing," make for an easy in-tune Pedal C.

Now that good weather is coming, time to get in shape!

I bought a Megatone looking 3C from a Chinese company, and it is better made than some Bachs in the '90s. Not a true 3C copy, the bite is softer and the cup deeper, and the whole effect is that of a kind of large but not too large trumpet mouthpiece (which the 3 is).

Not bad for $10.

@dr-go You have beautiful daughters! They don't look like you at all!

New trumpet valve invented.

Ah yes, Venus.

Benade wrote about the importance of matching backbores to cups around some 50 years ago.

My Harrelson Brass Pipe is now selling for around $14,000:

People will pay you that much not to play? Guess I should have become a jazz musician!
