Steve,
I spent Friday evening and most of the day Saturday with my classic car cruising Woodward. I had a great time and a prime parking spot, right at the hot spot at 13 Mile and Woodward. I got outta "Dodge" before the T-Storm hit. If I would have stayed, my car would have been "bitten' by a big tree! For those that don't know, it's the World's largest car cruise. The were an estimated 1 million people attending the event. Woodward runs over 16 miles from downtown Detroit to the City of Pontiac, Michigan. It's a great celebration of the Auto industry, and I saw ALL kinds of cars. Nirvana for a car guy such as myself... I'll bring my Alex to your shop for a "flame job", lol. Can you do ghost flames? Those are my favorites... Now to make this horn related....Beep Beep, beep beep, his horn went beep beep beep...sorry, I couldn't resist. You should have seen me conducting one of my car friends when she was beeping the horn of her classic Pontiac Tempest at a show in Clawson on August 13th...It's such a great hobby...I've met some very nice people.

Uh oh Walt, sounds like somebody's been spending some time at the Woodward Dream Cruise!!! I didn't think about calling them Hot Rod Holtons but come to think of it, they might have looked a lot better with flames painted on the bell. I've been working on "Hot Rod Lincoln" on the electric guitar though. Cain't quite play it as fast as Bill Kirchen yet but I'm getting there!! My papa says boy you gonna drive me to drinkin if you don't stop drivin that hot, rod, Lincoln. - Steve Mumford XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Walt wrote: Hey Steve, When you plated them, did you then call em "Hot Rod Holtons" A personal note to Steve, One of my new students that Doug Bianchi from Wayne sent to me bought a King from you. Nice playing horn... Walt --- On Mon, 8/22/11, Steven Mumford <mumfordhornwo...@att.net> wrote: They do chrome plate those drum and bugle corps horns (oops, forget I mentioned those).? I don't know, I think it would be a little garish on a horn.? Kind of like chrome plating a grand piano, you'd have to be Liberace for that.? I have seen some Holtons that a school district asked to be bright nickel plated.? They looked...well ok they looked awful. - Steve Mumford _______________________________________________ post: horn@memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/lewhorn9%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: horn@memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
