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

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

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.

Uhh, from YouTube.

Trinkt einen Münchener zu Weihnachten ein "Christmaß?"

Grüß Gott, Bertie!

I bought a Christmas tree today. The salesman asked if I was putting it up myself. I said, "No, in the living room."

Actually, she was on crutches, otherwise she would have walked out. I probably would have stayed.

I loved the soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange and when the movie was to be showing at my University I didn't hesitate to budget $1.00 more to bring a date.

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.

Good old hamstring.

It seems to me that tuning to the resonant center is just another way of saying "playing out of tune."

Be immersed in the music, listen, and enjoy yourself. The audience will too.

Herb Alpert has made a lot of people feel happy through his music. This alone makes him a very fine musician.
