Congrats!

Did your physician put you on colchicine?

85 doses worth, and also a miracle drug called "Aspirin." I've given up my physiological vices and the nicotine patch at 21mg stops my physical urges for tobacco and have also been free of cravings for the smoking ritual, for which I'm grateful.

You make it sound like I was at death's door. If so, I guess 3-6 months on O2 is a small price to play. Oh, I had severe sepsis, too.

I'm assuming it is OK to unplug myself to play (the hose interferes with mouthpiece placement).

I was impressed with the quality of care I received at Providence Sacred Heart Hospital, but it is sure great to have a professional trumpeter/physician/friend to answer my questions.

Thanks, Gary!

Enjoy.! 4a40a8e0-b185-412f-990e-e055571fd087-image.png

Liked these guys.

I used to torture students who didn't practice by having them finger (dry) the 2, 1-3 combination. Doesn't take long before parts of the arm start screaming.

Wow! Two Committees? You must be a super good jazz musician!

The Selmer G trumpets are way better in tune than the Bb/A Selmers. Meinl/Lauber makes an excellent Scherzer Bb/A knock off.

When in Germany I had a colleague (trombone player, but smarter than most) who had taken part in a study about lung capacity among brass players. The finding was that brass players don't really have bigger lungs, but can easily control the exhalation.

B & S is one of those companies that make a "better Bach." Their rotaries aren't bad, either.

I know of this one VERY WELL

Hearkens back to a time when Doctors made house-calls and mouthpiece buzzed in their carriage underway.

The origin of the siren.

Back when Rowuk and I joined TM as moderators, there was a lot more trumpet talk. The lounge and the Cage were for other stuff.

Ah yes, Venus.

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

Better than any Super Bowl rendition in recent years.

@dr-go I used to have eleven trumpets. Now I'm down to seven. Needed to sell four to afford the prescriptions you wrote me under a bridge away from cameras.

Well worth it.
