A couple of one ounce shots before your practice sessions will offer instant pain relief and a good side effect of reducing stress from playing unwanted clams! Those of us American Hornists that are a bit older will remember the television series the Beverly Hillbillies. I remember a running gag that Granny Clampett would take a thimble full of her "medicine" just before a storm or another change of weather would occur. The best thing about Grannie's was she made it herself, and she would set up her still by the "cement pond" (that's swimming pool for those that are not into Arkansas backwoods humor). Seriously, as I'm getting older I am experiencing more arthritis in my joints and now it has moved into my left hand (my joints in my baby and third fingers). So far, this has not affected my playing ability. There are plenty of anti inflammatory and pain medicines available that do a very good job of managing one's pain. I was glad to have some pain medicine to take just before this latest blizzard we suffered yesterday. Have a good day everyone. My son and I will attempt to dig out and get to the store. Yuck, it could have been worse, but 9 inches was too much!

My friend and fellow brass technician in Memphis, Joe Sellmansberger, told me about this one. First, I rub some good Tennessee Bourbon on the sore spots, and take a swig just for good luck. Next, you want to oil all your valves & linkages to minimize any friction. you can go ahead and take another swig at this time. BTW: the whiskey is a good solvent for freeing gummy rotors. Nest step (after a good stiff one) is to begin your warm up: slow arpeggios, ascending chromatically, and some slow scales: your hands should be feelin' pretty warm by now, but another shot will take the edge off. Then, after some more flexibility drulls, you can take anothrr flexibility shot, but keep the bottle close in case of lip slurz. Once you've finished this treatment, you won't care about practicing the horn - but your hands will feel great! - Dennis Houghton Music/Houghton Horns, LLC 1021 Conchos Circle West Keller, TX 76248 shop: 817-431-8072 cell: 817-602-9791 www.houghtonhornsllc.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/kicklighgter%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
