Feel at home where I am. I'm from Pirate stock.

It's the Vulgano RAY OF POWER.

Cellos tune to me. Real live trumpeters make the best drone.

Uhh, that's nice.

Well, I never stated those things. I am trying to find newcomers. I took out some ads on Facebook. Not sure if they are working yet.

Haven't seen any.

Cheaper with deer. Two under a buck.

I was a moderator there, and as far as I know, none of us knew or had contact information for MJ other than through TM.

Word on the street says B-6.

5.Some fight because from their perspective the other person is dead wrong.

I use Number Five sometimes.

Picard swears in French.

We could wipe male baldness pattern off the map with a combination of breeding and eugenics.

Reel-to-reel tape works great when you can slow it to half speed. You get to hear all the crap. Useful too for transcribing solos. (Had fun in college transcribing a Chase solo, then playing it down an octave with a trumpet mouthpiece on a valve trombone--sped up, it sounded a lot like Chase.) Doesn't help when tuning intervals, though. Experiencing resultant tones doesn't work through a speaker.

@BigDub said in Do you see what I see??:

I have had that happen many times, now that you mention it.

Great! Get those resultant tones sounding in tune, and memorize the sound and its visceral aspects. For best results, use the first and third slides to do the tuning work.

The American Federation of Musicians requires a "new use" payment, so yeah, the band probably got paid. Paid again when if it went to VHS or DVD.

Intonation is learned, and the best way I've found is to play intervals with another trumpeter. One plays a "drone" and the other slides up or down until the resultant tones are in tune. You'll hear the resultant tones "buzzing" in your ear.

My DEG Signature C is very fine. It was made at the time when Monette was using Allied parts, and, uhh, Allied may have made some mandrels for Dave, and uhh...

Anyway, it is a great C. Cost me $350, and Walt Johnson and Tony Scodwell picked it out at the factory for me.

Used it to good advantage on one of my weirdest gigs, substituting for the principal trumpet of the New World Philharmonic Orchestra (based out of Florida) in a concert in Big Sky Montana. Just had time to change into my tails, meet the conductor: "The overture is in one, I'll try to cue you." and I sight-read the concert. Anybody else sight read Ibert's Divertimento in concert with a major orchestra? Even got some foot shuffles from the players. After the concert the conductor thanked me and told me I sounded somewhat like Herseth. (Can't trust what conductors say!)

Anyway, great horn.

Knew a trumpeter that could peg any note on the tuner up to double c any time.

Problem is, if you are playing a chord tone, the Major 3rd will need to come down about 14 cents, the fifth about 2 cents up. If everyone does their part and play the exact degree of "out-of-tuneness" needed, the chord will ring. If everyone pegged the tuner, the chord will not ring.

I worked more than the above-mentioned trumpeter did.

The Fourth Horn in our symphony was allergic (he found) to both silver and gold. Derlin proved to be the rim material that worked.

I'm thinking about making a cheap knock-off of the Austin Bazaar and call it "Austin Bizarre."

I have exclusive rights to 8VB whenever I want.

Came across this today. It has some good advice.
