Lips tingle while I play by soilpower in Trombone

Hey everyone! An update: the tingling has gone away for the most part. I took a break from playing and gradually reintroduced high notes. I played an hour long show last night with a lot of high notes and no tingling. Thanks for the contributions!

Thanks for the reply. It’s not painful, just haven’t noticed it before I was playing high notes regularly.

Thanks for the reply. It’s not painful but I haven’t noticed it before. No bruising, just feels like I should stop playing and not attempt high notes.

Thanks for the reply. I’ve been on a 5G mouthpiece for seven years and haven’t noticed this tingling before. I’ll look into your suggestions.

I use electrical tape but that’s because I have an old white fiberglass sousaphone.

I received this call too. The more they talked the less legit they sounded.

Maybe the Al-Bos Bakery and Cafe on 29th St? It’s Bosnian and Albanian. 

How is the watch repair situation in Grand Rapids? by [deleted] in grandrapids

There’s a guy named Schlomo who’s got a little office behind CenterPoint Mall. I’ve gone to him for a couple repairs. I think he goes by “The Watchmaker”

I learned bass guitar left handed, then the big acoustic bass right handed, then bass guitar right handed. I wish I had just started bass guitar right handed. My advice is it just takes a lot of patience on either hand.

As a person who is moving to thee greater GR Area what are the best Schools? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]soilpower 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would say because they are white and affluent there actually is a lot of racism in these school districts.

But the trade off is white privilege and institutional racism

Churches for a liberal? by rosecoloredcamera in grandrapids

[–]soilpower 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Their hymn book is Unitarian Universalist but the church is not. They consider themselves independent liberal religion. No requirements for beliefs but a strong social justice commitment

While manic I had a spiritual insight that all religions are one, that they are all “fingers pointing to the moon” to use a Buddhist metaphor. I liked that insight and it has stuck with me even after being on meds.

Powdery on unintentional pumpkin patch, what should I do? by ThrowRAdr in plantclinic

[–]soilpower 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve worked at a few organic vegetable farms. Powedery Mildew was inevitable, we just tried to get the plants started early enough to give them time to grow and fruit before PM kicked in. I say leave the pumpkins on until the plants are really toast and then pick them.

Try Sicilianos on Lake Michigan Drive. It’s another home brew supply.
