I demand a mouthpiece discussion.  You Bach 7C guys are pussies.  I was a 1 1/2 C guy myself. 

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.

Bach 1 1/2C here.  Warburton for jazz.  I can't remember the specs.

3C.  Haven't touched a 7C since maybe 10th grade.  Well maybe during marching season, but definitely not since college.  Had a Schilke something something at one point, but it was too shallow as well.

Yeah I grew up listening to Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass in the 60's.  That music is fundamental to my soul.  Mangione sort of became the next herb Alpert for his time.  And Mangione being on A&M records meant Herb was gonna get a slice from his talent as well.  Mangione got so much airplay Feels So Good almost started to annoy me, but it's a great song. And the man can certainly play!  RIP.

I did get to see Herb Alpert a couple years ago at the Paramont Theater during covid (where I got it actually).  Really enjoyable show, as its multimedia and historical in it's presentation.  The guy is practically a billionaire and what gives him the most joy is still performing and playing that horn (beautifully still.)

Whenever I am Surf fishing in the early hours of the morning, you will always hear my playing Pandora's mix of Herb Alpert.   I am gonna really be upset when he passes.  As that will truly be closing a door on my childhood...
