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.

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.

@Kehaulani My nephew used to drive Maybach's from point A to point B as a summer job.

@Kehaulani Near Stuttgart. Roughly 1990 - early 2000s.

@Kehaulani I worked in Germany some with a Japanese trumpeter who studied in Vienna and later the Spaulding method. He had wonderful technique and a consistent "double-high D" (concert) but had a sound like a laser beam, even on his Ganter.

He didn't work a lot.
