"bbbrrrraaaaaa" attacks

Post by bloke »

These almost never happen to me when I ONLY blow, and DON'T use my tongue at all.

' just sayin' :teeth:

(I'm thinking that the flaw in the playing is - nearly always - the tongue interfering with the lips, rather than - almost never - the lips not being set precisely for the pitch, eh?)

I get to see / listen to A-10s all the time. They train here at Davis-Monthan AFB. My workplace was just west of the flight path -- we got to see the shuttle on piggy-back land here once, out my office window.

Joe means "bra attack", as exemplified by this esteemed former US Senator.
