How much do music "artists" earn? Not as much as "entertainers".

As I recall, the money for the Parker Grafton came from the City of Kansas City to provide an "important" exhibit for the Jazz Museum. If there's a sucker born every minute, the odds climb to one...

What I like best about Jitterbug is the last note.

Let us know when you decide. :wink:

Carl, Minnesota may be too far north for this delicacy, but around here and in points south leftover ham calls for a big pot of boiled beans and ham. Cornbread on the side is mandatory. Chopped...

At least one orchestra in flyover country is doing well.

What brand is it? :lol:

I apologize for the lack of detail, but Sunday morning I caught a brief part of A Prairie Home Companion as Keillor was interviewing a guitar player. Evidently he subbed on bass with Chet Atkins. ...

It's the rare contra-soprano.

Probably the most respected tech in Kansas City, used by a healthy portion of the professional saxophonists, was a gentleman named Dooley Wylert. For years he had a store, then retired to do work...

I thought I had a decent imagination, but this is beyond my comprehension.

The more posts I read in this thread, the more grateful I am for my Mac.

I've driven only one CVT -- a Subaru Legacy. It was a very short test drive. I hadn't felt a transmission like that since the early '50s Buick Dynaflow. And I didn't like them, either. They were...

Might burn even longer than a bassoon.

I think the guys with the rifles were there to execute the band.

My particular specialty is playing the wrong sax every couple of months during rehearsals for a 10-piece swing band. The fourth...

I'd like to go pick one up. Does anyone know which airlines allow them as carry-on luggage?

A local inventor has a device that will tune your piano automatically, in seconds, by heating the strings.

As I recall our trombonist used a metal mouthpiece on his Pbone.

I played a St. Pat's Day gig with a trombonist who brought a green one. It didn't sound bad. He thought it was worth the money. But I haven't seen him use it again.

A club recording of Everettte DeVan, a local Hammond B-3 treasure, and Houston Person, the tenor player who plays like a more musical John Coltrane. From ballads to hard bop, this is jazz the way it...

FWIW, I have a Bundy Special alto marked "Made in Germany".

A new metal tenor mouthpiece for less than $35? I would be skeptical.
But in the interest of full disclosure, I no longer believe in Santa Claus and don't play the lottery.

I started counting and came up with 25 different cars I've owned. I think I forgot a few, and that doesn't count the cars for my sons when they were teenagers. The more interesting cars I drove...

Fiat has made some beautiful cars, especially the various Spyders, and it may well be they are now building reliable vehicles. But in the 1970s I bought a new Fiat 128 that taught me the true...

I'm not sure how reliable J. D. Power's surveys are. Maybe they're just selling bragging rights. I have more faith in Consumer Reports.
