Casca... i find your comment very fitting to the conversation. "did not produce that blatt weasel sound typical of some banda players. He sounded more like he was playing a 6/4 " particularly catches my attention. I recall reading somewhere that j.p.sousa really preferred eb sousaphones for thier ...

Oooooo...! Congrats... cant wait to see (and hear) it all cleaned up... have fun...

I will have to look at the library's mentioned and see if they are viable for me....

I am very specifically referring to lending sheetmusic via snail-mail. No copying or selling. This whole idea depends on the trust in eachother to be honest about it. I know that will be abused, but hopefully only rarely. Also, the person who mentioned using the current library system; thats ...

Maybe this has been discussed before. Just pondering the idea of creating a category of the above topic where members can share sheetmusic..... Because sheetmusic is expensive and quite often (unfamiliar titles) is disappointing. any member that is not repectable as in does not return or replace ...

Agreed that laws are being passed to protect criminals. Night before last, our shed was broken into. Was trying to look up rights of homeowners against burglary; everything i found was about the rights of those that commit burglary. In fact, if a homeowner injures a person who is trespassing ...

Yikes! Burns are the worst. Take it easy.

Does anybody here know Ben Miles? I would like to get back in touch with him. I had some lessons with him years ago.

If that tuba is still functional after the little person is done playing with it down the road, i might consider buying it from her...... might....

After you get settled and start your regular traveling work duties, you could post where your headed and maybe be able to meet up with other forum'ers..... just a thought.... also, just curious what your new career is?

Congratulations and good luck!

I dont specifically recall the topic of slurring in my lessons but im sure it was there. When i play, i aim for clarity. I push slurs with air pressure from deep down. The best way for me to describe it is with a ho ho ho. I do this because when i hear other people (not paid pros) play, it sounds ...

Whatever your answer, i think its awesome! I marched dci in 2000 and they ...

Amazing how the universe works. I was just thinking about posting a topic for MW fans to talk about thier MW horns. Because everyone seems to love talking about thier Mirafone or Piggy or Yamaha, etc. Nothing against those manufacturers. Just want to hear from other MW fans like me. I absolutely ...

Bort... "Last random thought -- when I was younger and playing in multiple community/adult bands, I used to wonder why everyone was either in their 20s or in their 50s and older. Why nobody in their 30s and 40s? Guess I've found my answer to that! [emoji23]" ---Nailed it!--- Sent from my SM-J327VPP ...

Im not sure what you have going on. But keep going. Dont lose track of the joy you (hopefully) felt playing this instrument. Thats what its all about.

Your judgement of the person/situation your dealing with is most important. There are no guarantees. Face to face, cash is the best. But most of the time thats not possible.
