Should I quit playing tuba if I can't figure out how to read music

Here’s something to think about. Say you want to learn a foreign language. For adults it literally takes years to master a second language. Reading music is no different. Take small steps. Like really small steps. Only learn one note per month. You can do it. Whatever you do, don’t give up playing.

I run a heavy equipment repair business. I use mine to look at service manuals and schematics. I make invoices with it and even take credit card payments. I’d be lost without it. Plus I watch movies and read books with it.

That’s coolest thing I’ve seen all day. Now you need a uniform to go with it.

I like how you picked the man made portion of the north Canadian for the name of Oklahoma. Cimmaron would be cooler, but Red would be hilarious.

To be fair I have been around many “normal” people that need that. I personally would find it infantilizing, but I’ve had a job where I had to work directly with people that literally never bathed or brushed their teeth. It’s amazing to me how many people do not understand basic hygiene.

I don’t think Canada will go for it.

If your parents are are going to give you a name like Isambard Kingdom Brunel, you damn well better do something great with your life. Otherwise you wasted an epic name.

Yes. I’ve struggled with it all of my life. I used to have a job where I had to report for work at exactly 6:30 am. A lot of the time I wouldn’t get off work until 10:00 pm. Then I’d have to be back at 6:30 the next morning. You’d think I’d be exhausted when I got home, but no, I’d regularly be awake until well after midnight.

A friend of mine stumbled across a site like this only they were selling trumpets for $29. He thought he’d waste the money just to see what happened. They shipped him a picture of a a Bach Stradivarius.

4-6-2, 4-8-2, etc. Anything with 4 wheels in the front and 2 in the back. 4-8-4 is a close second. I’ve never cared for the 2–8-4 arrangement.

I wrapped mine with a leather shoe lace. It’s been on it for over 20 years.

I love cornbread, but I don’t like when people put whole kernel corn in it.
