in mind,but I couldn't think of anything else.

It's not so strange,,there have always been

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  04:30:26

trumpet players and banjo players.

I just never thought

RandyZ - Posted - 03/18/2014:  05:32:58

of putting strings on a trumpet.

but, blowing a Em isnt going....

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/18/2014:  07:06:43

to make that much difference.

When playing in a bluegrass group always

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/18/2014:  07:43:53

put up a sign "no trumpet players allowed". 

They can't do pulloffs

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  08:10:17

and are way too smart.

For instance, Miles Davis used to

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/18/2014:  10:32:10

play "Lady of Spain" in 13 different keys.

Which is remarkable

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  10:37:48

when you consider how little he actually adored the lady from Spain.

In fact, he was often heard to say she

(Is this video coming through ? - it doesn't come up when I click on the link,  DUH!  Geezer hood might be catching up to me )

If it doesn't check out YouTube Reggie Dunlop -Don't Ever Play Lady of Spain Again!

It says the video is unavailable. I did a search and found a clip but that didn't work either.

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/18/2014:  13:13:18

(OK tnx Bill. Mmmm, wonder why- it worked when I put the link on my email.).  To continue then...

never understood his "Sketches of Spain" album.

Also, his capo didn't work

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  13:47:09

so he had to transpose everything on the fly.

I'm not sure how

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/18/2014:  14:41:08

he capoed his trumpet- maybe he had to put it on his lip.

I'm glad the lip I got

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  15:05:12

has led a good life.

It has been able to

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/18/2014:  16:15:01

do some lip lapping.

If you've never done any lip lapping you

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  16:27:11

don't know what you are missing.

It is by far the most

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/18/2014:  16:31:08

fun that Leo "the Lip" Durocher ever showed Lester and Earl.

Jethro tried

OM45GE - Posted - 03/18/2014:  16:34:41

to join in but the famous duo shunned him.

No one is sure why, but they

all came to the Sunday dinner on the ground

At high altitude mY ears

jistgreg - Posted - 03/19/2014:  01:15:05

tower over my head. 

I often wonder 

OM45GE - Posted - 03/19/2014:  02:52:26

why my neighbors are always banging on the walls and yelling.

I have to play my banjo much louder

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/19/2014:  02:53:22

if my head is to big for my brain?

If someone said up,and you thought

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/19/2014:  10:14:01

they said giddy up ,you'd miss out on life's tender moments.

That steak last night was tough as

BigMonFan - Posted - 03/19/2014:  11:04:10

if Ford engineering had designed it themselves.

The price

RandyZ - Posted - 03/19/2014:  11:04:50

pudding, and just as squishy.

speaking of Area 51, did you hear that...

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/19/2014:  13:04:20

they changed it to 52 to throw UFO'ers off.

Those aliens

OM45GE - Posted - 03/19/2014:  14:06:10

They're holding their next

fishing gives me the

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/19/2014:  16:15:53

urge to swim upstream to mate.

I believe a mermaid

would have trouble finding an eligible marriage partner here in east Tennessee.

For one thing

Scaggs7 - Posted - 03/19/2014:  17:03:13

we here can't swim or float without a beer or shine because the water has too much salt

while diving in the dirt I saw

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/19/2014:  20:06:59

a dirt devil dancing around.

Why do they call it square dancing when

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  03:12:04

there's nothing square about it?

Maybe it has something to do with

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/20/2014:  05:15:07

the coal mines in Kentucky.

I stopped at one of those roadside vendors to get some boiled peanuts and

BigMonFan - Posted - 03/20/2014:  05:29:27

thought to myself, hmmm, a man that'll eat boiled peanuts will eat just about anything.

The man at the peanut stand

Scaggs7 - Posted - 03/20/2014:  06:31:39

was laughing at himself for crying about the. statement

Did you ever go to a

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  07:21:55

wedding where one of the happy couple wasn't human?

I never have, but I heard

RandyZ - Posted - 03/20/2014:  07:33:48

its a cosmic hoot.


It seems like flying saucers are kind of cramped, maybe its...

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  08:24:19

an optical illusion.

But somehow I don't

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/20/2014:  10:26:02

see me roaring off into outer space anytime soon.

I left the '60's behind

RandyZ - Posted - 03/20/2014:  10:39:45

,along with them little purple dots and airplanes printed on paper.

i once saw the Northern Lights, i had a hard time leaving the field because...

Scaggs7 - Posted - 03/20/2014:  11:06:02

I was stuck to the ground

the door closed on

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  11:58:11

my foot and clearly indicated I wasn't welcome.

I don't know why,

banjoscotty - Posted - 03/20/2014:  12:06:48

I keep going back there.

Adolf Hitler was for sure one of

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  12:25:03

the vilest humans in recorded history.

It's hard to imagine

chuckv97 - Posted - 03/20/2014:  15:14:34

that he was once an innocent baby.

Too much Bavarian beer

OM45GE - Posted - 03/20/2014:  16:12:46

is a mixed blessing.

Octoberfests have been some of the best times I never

Scaggs7 - Posted - 03/20/2014:  16:35:12

witnessed without being there

the supply company said I had to

quit supplying them with bogus 20 dollar bills.
