Well time for and old "war" story from Milton. Many years ago when Mr Copland was conducting the Buffalo Phil.... as he did very often.... and I think it was the music from Rodeo..... he kept asking the horns to play louder and brasser at the end. I finally asked him.... quite the upstart I was to be asking Mr Copland anything..... "well Mr Copland do you want it stopped or muted? It would be louder muted! And he said!!! Whats the difference???? Dudddddddd. He did not really know that for us horn pickers the little + meant stopped, and apprantley the did not know the difference between muted and stopped. He used the + to indicate "brassey". That was the end of my questioning period in life. :)

Really? When playing a double, I use both sides. Trigger+1st gives a great stopped "A" above the staff. Just right for the end of Copland's "Rodeo." Can't miss. Also, need I mention which of reached up on the shelf and opened the can labeled, "Smat*ss?" ...and which of us is getting prickly? You're likely much more clever than you're writing, so let's place that can back on the shelf. I asked who made the mute, and I got an answer from someone who actually contributed.
