thisnewdayGot my little Stagg pocket B-flat trumpet out for the first time since the dental and abdominal surgeries seemed to have well and fully healed and it was, well, not amazing in terms of performance, lol, but fun, interesting, quite exciting, even, just to have done it.
So I wiped her down a bit, oiled the valves, checked the tuning slide, and went looking in my computer files for the Brian Hayes lip buzzing exercises and then the more extended series of lessons I'd been using all those months ago. You know, before the surgeries.
And even though it'd been many months since I'd last practiced them, it really wasn't like I was starting all over again. At least not like when I first got the Stagg.
I seem to remember where the notes are, seem able to hit them on key with the video clips. Not like before when I was totally lost and, when I finally found the note, couldn't sustain it.
So tomorrow, I'm gonna do this again in the AM, right after breakfast and my oral hygiene and, lol, putting my dentures in, hopefully making it part of my daily routine.
Which I'm gonna need, now that the weather seems to be closing in and the bike will likely be ridden indoors more often than not and the political storm clouds continue to gather as well on the horizon.
My best to everyone...
