Not sure my extension on the two hat version is a jewell, but here we go: A mid-low brass player went to a local pub and tried to cure a true or an imagined cold by means of distillates based on local crops. If maybe not the assumed cold then certainly the verticality of his spine was affected through that ongoing process.
A one point of time the barman suggested the mid-low brass player that going home might be a fine idea. "Why that? I still am sober enough to tell that this cat entering the bar has two eyes!" "Sorry Sir! This cat is leaving the bar." K ________________________________ From: David A.

It goes like this: Procure a bottle of your favorite scotch, bourbon, whiskey or rye. Prepare yourself completely for bed and then hang a hat on the footpost of your bed. Drink a glass of beverage, then look at the hat. Do this until there you see two hats. Go to sleep.. You might wake up cured, you might not, but either way you won't be concerned about the cold.

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/paxmaha%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/yorkmasterbbb%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
