First: throw the tuner out of your practice room use your ear to correct pitches. If the slides are set once, they should stay so. Just remember how far they have to be pulled out each. Remember that the Bb-slides (the lower set) have to be pulled out just a bit less than the F-slides. Get the

Sent this over the weekend and it vanished into thin air, so now I'm trying from work. Sorry if the topic has already played itself out (hey, not too of a bad unintentional pun). -ph This record used to be fairly common in cutout bins here in NYC. I'm sorry that I didn't pick up a dozen copies.

Somehow, the NYPL web-based version of its mail software gets rejected by most of the listservs that I am subscribed to (I don't think that there is any plain-text option available; at least, I can't find it if it does exist), so I am re-posting this from work using the dedicated version on my PC.

Believe it or not, in my GS group, we have had several soloists who had a hard time going just slow enough not to make mincemeat of the words, despite the music directors insistence on sowing down. It seems that people unconsciously have the need to use such pieces to show off what they can

I know this is probably a little too much on-topic, but back to the subject of slide grease I've started using the Hetman slide gel. It takes a little longer to get on the slides since it comes out in a thin bead half the time, but I find that a little goes a long way anyways. Plus, it seems to
