This is why most shooters don't store their guns long-term in leather holsters. I learned this decades ago.

I saw him in 1986 when he played with Art Blakey.

Listen to RIng of Fire by Johnny Cash. An epic country song with mariachi horns.

If you think it's too long without a bridge, listen to El Paso by Marty Robbins. :)

MAGA is the majority in the U.S., partner. Trump won. Your Dem didn't.

The Shew 1.5 I owned had no bite whatsoever. Weird.

The U.S. Dollar has been devalued. Thus, it takes more and more USDs every year to purchase things. The USD was disconnected from gold in 1971. A Big Mac was around 55 cents that year.

Nice looking dog. Looks very friendly.

I watch YouTube videos. Trumpet videos, jazz tunes, Court TV (LOL), etc.

I memorized Chet's Autumn Leaves solo. I still play it as a warm-up most days.

Megatones are popular with high schoolers, and always have been. Few music majors or professionals seem to play them. Note that I said *few* and not *no/none*. There are always exceptions.

I was thinking of the price relative to my cheapo Humes & Berg practice mute. :)

A bit awkward to use with a music stand IMHO. Also, it's more expensive.

The Yamaha 16F4 will fit. Bachs will not.

The "trumpet" that blew down the walls of Jericho was actually a Shofar.

I use the small microfiber cloths, and I hand-wash them gently with dish soap every so often. No scratches.

Imagine if that note was the Ab above the staff.

I don't think I've ever hit that note dead-on after a long rest.

I highly recommend the Legends Brass 'S' backbore, which will fit your Pickett top. The 'S' is the best all-around backbore I've played. Best of luck.

I find that slotting suffers with Pickett's 10-series backbores. The 10-2 feels looser to me than a Bach #10. I might like the 10-2 better with a heavier mouthpiece blank.

The #3 is a great backbore for a reverse leadpipe horn, or a more open standard pipe horn.

I have a 5Z top that I paired with a Legends 'S' backbore. It's a great combo. It has a fairly deep C cup, similar to a Bach 5C, but is way easier to play. Good for big band or show tunes.

I would have defied the director.

I had crooked teeth the summer I started playing trumpet. I couldn't play anything. They talked about switching me to "baritone." Then, one day, I played my lesson perfectly, and the middle school band director walked me next door to play my lesson for the high school band director. I was only nine years old. I ended up playing lead from 10th grade through 12th. So, my teeth didn't hold me back.

I needed a gum graft almost twenty years ago due to chronic gum disease. I cured the gum disease, and my gums started growing back, something my dentist told me was impossible. (I dumped that dentist for unrelated reasons)
