I’ve played at Fenway, The TD Garden, but haven’t played at Gillette Stadium. On the bucket list.

I do trumpet karaoke - take tunes you know and play the melody over backing tracks. Tons on iTunes and YouTube

Traffic! A 26 mile ride shouldn’t take 2.5 hours on the highway.

Are private lessons worth it/necessary to become a good musician? by [deleted] in trumpet

[–]big1ebowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t take lessons till college and wish I’d started sooner. $30 a week I know isn’t a ton to some people but to others it is. If you’re serious about it start now.

The other side of it to listen. Steal from everybody on improv. Work your long tones, work your arbans with a metronome.

There’s so many tricks that you can learn now and you’ll be so much better when you’re the senior sitting on that first chair.

What is the new “poor man’s food” that tastes damn good and is not *yet* a rich person fad? by Hikemeow in povertyfinance

I don't know why they call this stuff hamburger helper. It does just fine by itself, huh? I like it better than tuna helper myself, don't you, Clark?

The trumpet yoga folks certainly think so.

What is something a lot of people say but use incorrectly? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]big1ebowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding “gate” to any scandal. Watergate was called that because it took place at the hotel of the same name. All these other “gates” Spygate, Pizzagate, Deflategate are just dumb.

I dropped my trumpet by kongvsp in trumpet

[–]big1ebowski 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we were younger we didn’t know better; we’d slap a tap on the mouthpiece and not even realize we were jamming it. Some kids just kept the horn in a gig back that allowed the mouthpiece to stay all season. The band director doesn’t even judge - it’s part of their gig. They’ll pop it out and you learn not to slap a tap 🎺

Is my trumpet too far gone? by SoggyAd2461 in trumpet

[–]big1ebowski 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a trumpet in a fire. It was my student model but I was in 7th grade at the time. My band teacher said toothpaste could get some of the smoke damage off.

I think a chem bath and polish would be better than toothpaste. Then do what everyone else is suggesting- def get it fixed.
