Eupher, I own a trumpet & TWO trombones. I could play both at one time.  :tongue:


Just because you own a trumpet doesn't mean you know what to do with it.  Playing both at one time isn't art - it's a gimmick.  :whistling:  :tongue:

Buddy's album "Stick It" is also a great one. Lin Biviano on lead trumpet almost behaved on that one, especially on "Something". But a better Buddy recording is:

"Roar of '74". I played "Nuttville" some years ago, and it's absolutely the bomb hearing the melody between lead trombone and 2nd tenor in minor seconds.

There was a Moody Blues album in the early 70's that I almost wore out, and a Rod Stewart one, that had the first cut of Maggie May.

Doobie Brothers

Days of Future Passed. Arguably the album that propelled Rock through the instrumental genre.

If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

Byte me, Euphless.....  :tongue:   :-)

I didn't mean that I'd play both of them at the same instant, (although I have done that in the past) but I could play EITHER instrument....

Rainbow- Final Vinyl
It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

Okay, Mr. Musician. Answer this very basic question:

When was the last time you played EITHER instrument, rather than admire it sitting in the case gathering dust?

 :uhsure:        :hyper:       :lmao:


Count Basie - "Straight Ahead" -- Lotsa Sammy Nestico charts on that one, classics for sure.

Never heard it or saw the movie.

The song, and the album (Break Like The Wind), came out in the early 90s.  I think the CD is around here somewhere.  The movie gave us such classics as "Stonehenge" and a beautiful melody that they were working on, tentatively titled "Lick My Love Pump."  (I about peed my pants the first time I saw that.)
"Timid men prefer the calm of despotism to the tempestuous sea of Liberty." - Thomas Jefferson

"All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don't sit looking at it - walk!" -Ayn Rand
 
"Those that trust God with their safety must yet use proper means for their safety, otherwise they tempt Him, and do not trust Him.  God will provide, but so must we also." - Matthew Henry, Commentary on 2 Chronicles 32, from Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible

"These anti-gun fools are more dangerous to liberty than street criminals or foreign spies."--Theodore Haas, Dachau Survivor

Also...some Bowie.

Aladdin Sane
Ziggy Stardust

And Diamond Dogs, which has a great jacket.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
