There's a slow, thoughtful one in The Sting called Solace. You ought to download them from iTunes or buy a CD to play in the car. Really good music.

I think I've heard the terms double-and triple-tonguing with regard to other brass instruments like a trumpet or cornet. I don't remember hearing the trombone played that way and I thought that woman seemed very good. I hope JzB will weigh in and correct anything I may have gotten wrong.<br /><br />Speaking of music, I was driving around taking my bike to the beach for a ride on the bike path while listening to a CD in my car of Scott Joplin rags. Geez I love that music!Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-29176428001812361362013-09-06T00:08:33.473-05:002013-09-06T00:08:33.473-05:00Lucina:

None of them had chili powder nor hot sauce (I like Cholula, Tabasco, and Crystal).<br /><br />Bill G. Do you seemed to know about trombones, do you know the answer to my trombone question? I'm just curious. I love music, but alas, never learned an instrument nor can I sing. Eldest, however, has the voice of an angel after a few years of training. Her choir teacher is not happy she wanted to do theater this year :-).<br /><br />And, from the haven't-heard-this-much-lately file - Astros Win!

We have such mild all year round weather that we get terribly spoiled when we go somewhere where there is humidity, or hot weather for any length of time. I'm thinking Iowa in the summer. Our relatives lived in the country and we sat around in the back yard under a big shade tree and sweltered!! <br /><br />I'll add my thanks to all of the people who keep the blog alive and well. It takes a lot of time and expertise.

She's walking all over but isn't sure when and if she will try hitting a tennis ball again.<br /><br />I had a couple of scares this afternoon. The electricity went off. No computer, no TV, no refrigerator, no fans, etc. I could anticipate this turning into a long, hot, unpleasant powerless spell but the power was restored after about a half hour. No big deal as it turns out.<br /><br />Then coming back after a bike ride and a stop at McDonalds for a soft-serve cone, I discovered my wallet was missing. I drove back to McDonalds and as I walked in the door, a customer who I remembered from earlier said, "They've got it at the front desk." Sure enough, one of their maintenance workers had turned it in. I was so excited to get it back, I didn't think to ask where he found it. He wasn't around or else I would have liked to thank him and offer him a reward.<br /><br />Spitz, I'm no trombone expert but I'd say she measures up well. I think what she's doing is called double and triple-tonguing.Bill G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04142837879175561312noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-47374126793883415562013-09-05T19:23:33.005-05:002013-09-05T19:23:33.005-05:00Anon T said: 2-3 hours to put together a writeup?...Anon T said: <i>2-3 hours to put together a writeup?!?
