Re: USPS, FedEx, and UPS Tracking Number Characteristics



Oh, I was polite to the guy who screwed up, but my opinion has been known far and wide otherwise.
And I see no reason for you to dis the OP. Uncalled for, makes you no better than what you are saying about him.



Oh Mary Ann, I’m not dissing the OP I’m just having a conversation. All is good ...

Re: USPS, FedEx, and UPS Tracking Number Characteristics


I just had the most frustrating tracking number episode! I had sent something to be fixed (Wisconsin) and the guy sent me a tracking number, finally, after I asked after, several weeks, if it was fixed. But the UPS site said it had been delivered already, to some place in Missouri. I caused a ...

Re: USPS, FedEx, and UPS Tracking Number Characteristics

I agree this is useful information, but I don’t think it needs to be a sticky in this full form. The main point is simple: people need to send the actual tracking number, not a receipt number, product code, internal reference number, or address code.

A shorter reminder would probably work better ...

WTB: Sidey Classic or Helleberg in Brass

Title says it all. Tried two of these in Chicago yesterday and from my understanding they aren’t made anymore. If you have any leads on one let me know. I’m eager to buy.

Re: The John Williams Tuba concerto



I will keep it up for a couple more weeks for sure, but here is my favorite recording—Roger Bobo with LAPO live.


Apologies for digging up an old thread. But what year was this recording made? My understanding is that Bobo performed this at the Hollywood Bowl in Sept. 1985...is this that ...

Re: What makes the sound?

I’m a Bloke fan and a Colby fan why can’t we all just get along and have a friendly conversation. I hate this is happening.

Re: Does Anyone Still Practice the Full Bill Bell Routine?


I never thought about it much, but this sounds A LOT like what Morris had us doing at Tennessee Tech. Especially the legato and staccato part... I swear, I didn't play anything but legato scales for my first three weeks of lessons. Makes sense since he was a student of Bell.


It was Winston who ...

Re: Does Anyone Still Practice the Full Bill Bell Routine?

I got the Baer version of the scales today. It is much easier to read, includes more keys, and I like that the scales are written tonic to tonic.

I’m not really drawn to the Bell-style smears or rips into the next set of scales the way they were passed down to me. To me, that part feels unnecessary ...

Does Anyone Still Practice the Full Bill Bell Routine?

Recently, I had a lesson with a Bill Bell student. Unfortunately, there are not many of them left.

The lesson focused on the old routine often referred to as the “Warmup.” I believe Charles Colin published a warmup routine associated with Bell, but based on what was passed down to me, it seems that ...

I supposedly have one on the way. If it doesn't work out, I will contact you. Thanks.
Did you end up receiving it? If not I have one I’d move it’s the AT3UY.
