Great trumpet playing. Odd that she plays off to the side of the mouth a
small amount. Maybe I could have been that good in Junior High School when
I played if I moved it off to the side a little. :}

It looks weird, but she makes a nice, clean sound with the trumpet.

Not really weird. Just seems as if the teeth and lip would not be correct
off to the side. I played trumpet, French Horn and Mellophone in Junior
High School. Wanted to be a drummer, but band leader liked my brass
playing. I think he really wanted me in brass as I was big enough to play a
sousaphone.

I wanted to play in the band, and the director said they could use a French Horn
player. This was while I was in 7th grade. My parents were pretty smart, and
didn't have much money anyway, so they *rented* a French Horn. After several
months of trying, about the only thing I could do with it was scare the hell out
of the chickens.

So I gave up. I've got lots of respect for those kids who can play as well as
they do. Lots of work.

Well, you could have rented a tambourine.

A lot has to do with the shape of the mouth. Most folks are not really
completely symmetrical

Harry is, because he's perfect in every way, just ask him. In reality,
however, he IS symmetrical. ROUND.

I had my MP3 player along on the cruise and a set of Cambridge PC
speakers. We had our tunes out on the veranda.

Well, the post office must have lost my invitation. I wonder if Tim got his?
