Re: highest-paying trade jobs (no 4-yr. kolij deegree required) in the USA

Typical tradesmen's skills' educations are not cheap, but are affordable. Some are allowed to apprentice, and then take qualifying tests (as they move up through their industries). M.D.'s' educations cost a fortune, require nearly a decade of time, and their liability insurance (not to mention ...

Re: Embouchre with nerve damage

It's been interesting reading through and catching up on many things tuba related. I recently resumed playing after a 30 year break. Amongst lots of age-related changes, I also now have multiple sclerosis with some permanent facial paralysis (think mild Bell's palsy). Anyway, I've discovered that I ...

Re: Gig bag for Cerveny ABB 681

Gig bag for Cerveny ABB 681

Looking to see what's out there for a gig bag for my new (to me) Cerveny ABB681. I'm not terribly picky about style. I would just like one that fits well and gets the job done- at, of course, a reasonable price.

Re: Embouchre with nerve damage

I really admire people who manage to play musical instruments in spite of huge challenges. I admire you, and I admire a nearby friend who had to have all of his teeth pulled...ALL of his teeth pulled. He was really depressed and was getting ready to sell all of his stuff, but he's now telling me ...
