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

Two flies are sitting on a dogpile. One of the flies farts and the other one says,"Knock it off, man, can't you see I'm trying to eat!"

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.

Ah, those (in)famous Kanstul valves. Bet your Getzen four-valve doesn't need oiling in the middle of a gig!

Used to purposely use an Eb first slide on D trumpet to get the d in the staff in tune, and kicked out the first slide a tad on other notes.

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!

Don't know where to classify these guys.

I was into jazz before I heard the Dead play on records, and then live. It was a gateway into

and aleatoric modern music.

Oh by the way, here is a picture of my daughters:

Are they married yet, Dad?

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 Need dirty contacts to pull Green Eyed Lady off. You can pull it off because you can count me as a dirty contact.

When can we meet under the bridge in Spokane again, Dr. GO? My back's been bothering me...

Transpose up!

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