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

      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.

      You should join a German band. You've got ideal legs for Lederhosen.

      Played in a mini-parade at Sun-Up Bay Resort on lake Coeur d'Alene in northern Idaho on the 3rd. It is an old tradition there, and they do it on the 3rd because Pyrotechnicians usually are all booked on the 4th.

    • RE: Getzen Club

      I've used three Getzens throughout my career. All from the '70s. An Eterna Bb, a Capri C, and the four-valve flugelhorn. I wore out the Bb and C, and sold the flugelhorn. While a great lead horn, I used my Bb mostly for orchestral and chamber music. Paired with a Monette B1 mouthpiece and an early Monette prototype leadpipe (now on my Schilke B6), it an amazing sound.

      My C was converted to a tunable bell by Dave Monette in the days before he'd started building trumpets. It responded and sounded like Dave's Chicago models, but without the amazing projection.

      I found the flugelhorn delightfully mouthpiece sensitive. With a Bach mouthpiece they are fairly bright, and perfect for big band; with a deep Reeves cup I could use it for the horn parts in the Christmas Oratorio as a substitute for the Corno da Caccia.

      I look upon my Getzen days with great fondness.

    • RE: Punched in the Face

      @dr-go Thanks for the good news--headed to the shed now!

      Oh, and when you come to Spokane, bring hydros in your sample kit. I've gotten rather fond of them. 😉

    • Punched in the Face

      Hi Folk!

      As the title suggests, I got punched in the face while trying to keep a non-resident out of our secure apartment building.

      Results of CT Scan:

      "CLINICAL INFORMATION:
      Hit in face, obvious swelling.

      COMPARISON:
      CT HEAD UNENHANCED (10/21/2013);

      PROCEDURE:
      Thin section axial images were obtained through the facial bones.

      At least one of the following CT dose optimization techniques were
      used: Automated exposure control; Adjustment of mA and/or kV
      according to patient size; Use of iterative reconstruction technique.

      FINDINGS:
      Imaged portions of the brain: Normal.
      Orbits: Normal. No orbital wall fractures or intraorbital hematoma.
      Paranasal sinuses: Trace mucosal thickening. No sinus fluid levels
      or evidence of sinus hematoma.
      Maxilla and mandible: Significant enlargement of the right masseter
      muscle body with mild adjacent soft tissue swelling. No evidence of
      an acute fracture or dislocation.
      Zygoma/zygomatic arches and pterygoid plates: Normal.
      Temporal bones: Normal.
      Nasal bones: Normal.
      Craniocervical junction and imaged portions of the cervical spine:
      Mild degenerative changes."

      This is what I look like now:

      I've got back almost full mobility of my jaw, and can get sounds out of the trumpet.

      Is it safe to practice?

    • RE: Bots are getting scary

      Something bots lack, from Strunk & White "The Elements of Style:"

      "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."
