  1. Those things fucking suck nowadays. They sausage used to take up all the space inside the bread. Nowadays those things are over half empty air space... The.links are smaller than the Ekrich garbage.
  2. Brian will just neg rep him....
  3. Seriously, go get your prescription(s) refilled, SOON! Getting so serious about a goofy movie like HG2 is like critiquing Dad jokes as haute couture. Your brain chemistry needs a serious recalibration. Or better yet, just go back to being hall monitor of the Over 40 Chicks thread in IPIHB where fewer people will be witness to your dumbassery. I used to joke that you were a Derka sock. Now I'm convinced Derka is most certainly more stable than you. Please don't continue "SO2ing" this thread.
  4. I have always hated the 7c. Fuck that POS mouthpiece. Mr.Crisara had me change to a 5c my sophomore year..Best change ever. But I still go back to my old 10 1/2CW every now and then but not as much as I used to. He also lent me one of his C trumpets one semester for my jury, but he told me if he ever saw me playing it with anything but that 5C he would take it right back. LOL.
  5. Indeed. I mentioned Vizzutti up thread
  6. Go on...
  7. The thing about Feels So Good was the range that Mangione lived in throughout that number, it was a big break from most flugelhorn solos before. Most people associate flugel with lower and mid register and mellow (someone like Derek Watkins being the standard on flugel, while he could absolutely scream on trumpet) but Chuck, while not screaming, stayed in a pretty high range for flugelhorn and showed great control of the horn and his tone while doing it. A lot of guys couldn't maintain that on flugelhorn, thus you had many just play it all on trumpet.
  8. Same. Craig was a year behind me ... But way ahead as a player. And Tom Tallman as a TA too. Good jazz guy.
  9. Craig Morris...from San Antonio
  10. So you're still changing his diapers?
  11. @UTCzech III have you checked out the Herb Alpert Is doc?
  12. Freddie Hubbard was far from an "outlier" in trumpet circles. Maynard, Mangione, Alpert, hell even Bill Chase before his untimely death, just happened to catch on as rock stars not just to trumpet players but to the general public . Back then their music was substance and not some pop hook tune. But guys like Hubbard, Vizzutti, Doc (even though everybody knew about him because of the Tonight show), and a ton of others were monstrous talents. Even to this day I still play alongside two of Maynard's former lead players and another guy who played lead for Buddy Rich, on a regular basis and I am in awe sitting on the second third or fourth book next to these guys. Nowadays you have so many supremely talented trumpet players like Rick Baptist, Malcolm McNabb, Chris Coletti, etc.... not to mention the principals of most of the world class orchestras that are just pure perfection. (We even have at least one UT grad amongst the ranks of those upper tier elite orchestral types).
  13. Goddammit if Herb Alpert goes I'll be really pissed off!
  14. Hulkamaniacs, unite! RIP Legend!
  15. So, did they say goodbye? And was that the last thing he heard her say?
  16. This Li guy is kinda good this week. Been under the radar
  17. Getting up there is easier than having to get back down?
  18. And somehow, I have never seen this...
  19. Hartsfield says hi. Hate that fucking place
  20. So you're saying they might be German scrimp?
  21. Blue Angels from a few years back. They fly the hell out of that C-130!
  22. Fukkin' awesome! Love me some T-birds!
  23. Make sure the Pony Express rider gets a copy of the new key when the mailbox gets fixed.
  24. Please please please have no gag reflex...
