In Bavaria, unwary tourists can fall prey to the Wolperdinger, a vicious flesh-eating hare with a roebuck's horns.

I took lessons until I was good enough to teach myself.

This year I'm watching the family friendly fireworks in the Park at 9:00pm.

Best New Year's gig ever was playing two Bach cantatas--one before midnight, the other after.

For those interested in Benade and his work here is a fun site:

I must confess, that when I studied acoustics Fundamentals of Musical
Acoustics was in its first edition.

There will always be those that do it better. Only one can be the first.

We have D, half round, round, ovate and pretty much whatever shaped tuning slides, each promising (and delivering) something different.

Do fluid dynamics play any role?

Sorry, as much as I love Getzen, their high horns aren't the best I've played.

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

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.

First we had a global moderator, now we have a globaler Moderator.

Congrats!

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

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.

Looks about time for you to learn piccolo trumpet. Come by, bring beer and your script pad and I'll give you a lesson.

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!"

@Kehaulani said in Not really a "mouthpiece safari" but the need for a "saving grace" type of mouthpiece...:

To use an analogy though, you can get from New Hampshire to California in a BMW or a Volkswagen Beetle. It just depends on how you want to travel.

If there is snow on the passes I'll take the VW!

Better than KT and nicer too, I bet.

Louis is amazing!

A Husband takes his wife to play her first game of golf. Of course, the wife promptly hacked her first shot right through the window of the biggest house adjacent to the course.

The husband cringed, 'I warned you to be careful! Now we'll have to go up there, find the owner, apologize and see how much your lousy drive is going to cost us.'

So the couple walked up to the house and knocked on the door. A warm voice said, 'Come on in.'

When they opened the door they saw the damage that was done: glass was all over the place, and a broken antique bottle was lying on its side near the pieces of window glass.

A man reclining on the couch asked, 'Are you the people that broke my window?'

'Uh...yeah! , sir. We're sure sorry about that,' the husband replied.

'Oh, no apology is necessary. Actually I want to thank you.. You see, I'm a genie, and I've been trapped in that bottle for a thousand years.

Now that you've released me, I'm allowed to grant three wishes. I'll give you each one wish, but if you don't mind, I'll keep the last one for my self.'

Wow, that's great!' the husband said. He pondered a moment and blurted out, 'I'd like a million dollars a year for the rest of my life.'

'No problem,' said the genie 'You've got it, it's the least I can do. And I'll guarantee you a long, healthy life!'

'And now you, young lady, what do you want?' the genie asked.

'I'd like to own a gorgeous home in every country in the world complete with servants,' she said.

'Consider it done,' the genie said. 'And your homes will always be safe from fire, burglary and natural disasters!'

'And now,' the couple asked in unison, 'what's your wish, genie?'

'Well, since I've been trapped in that bottle, and haven't been with a woman in more than a thousand years, my wish is to have sex with your wife.'

The husband looked at his wife and said, 'Gee, honey, you know we both now have a fortune, and all those houses. What do you think?'

She mulled it over for a few moments and said, 'You know, you're right. Considering our good fortune, I guess I wouldn't mind, but what about you, honey?'

You know I love you sweetheart,' said the husband. I'd do the same for you!'

So the genie and the woman went upstairs where they spent the rest of the afternoon enjoying each other.

The genie was insatiable.

After about three hours of non-stop sex, the genie rolled over and looked directly into her eyes and asked, How old are you and your husband?'

'Why, we're both 35,' she responded breathlessly.

'No Kidding,' he said.

'Thirty-five years old and you both still believe in genies?'
