Nice playing. I still can't wrap my mind around why anybody would voluntarily listen to "Gonna Fly Now." I really dislike that song.
I spent a weekend with the Drum Major's girlfriend and the movie sound track to Rocky. Brings back very pleasant memories.
I took lessons until I was good enough to teach myself.
I'm having fun with Bard, Google's AI.

I would like to believe most of it to be true, but I've only toured with orchestral groups and I am not Charles Richard Smith, so the whole thing is suspect.
Now that we have King Charles this is truly a meaningless picture.
Benade wrote about the importance of matching backbores to cups around some 50 years ago.
Be immersed in the music, listen, and enjoy yourself. The audience will too.
Looks about time for you to learn piccolo trumpet. Come by, bring beer and your script pad and I'll give you a lesson.
Don't forget Clifford Blackburn and Tony Scodwell.
I'm thinking about making a cheap knock-off of the Austin Bazaar and call it "Austin Bizarre."
