   these symptoms sound like a stroke...a small stroke.

&gt; Not to spin another thread out of a death announcement, but, like Jim Beebe, 
&gt; I also am curious as to what "blowing one's lip" constitutes. Do you know 
&gt; what happened to Cox and what the etiology of that condition was?

I think we should ask Fred Spencer, MD, at &lt;drjz@bealenet.com&gt; for a medical 
guess at the cause of Clyde's condition.&nbsp; But I can tell you (and Fred) the 
presenting symptoms: 
 
An embrouchure (sp?) is a muscle--actually a complicated group of 
muscles--around the mouth.&nbsp; In Clyde's case, the right side of his mouth, 
especially the right "corner" of the mouth, could no longer retain air 
pressure.&nbsp; It resembles (I think?) my own mouth at the edges when I've not 
played in awhile and air escapes if I try to blow too long.&nbsp; Since my 
muscles can strengthen by practice, I can regain my "lip," my strength. 
 
Clyde couldn't.&nbsp; The right side of his mouth was effectively paralyzed. It 
didn't affect his speech; but that strong muscle around the mouth was 
weakened on the right side, and under the pressure necessary to blow a brass 
instrument, it could no longer hold more than a short time--about 8 to 12 
bars, depending on the tempo. 
 
There is surely a medical term for this condition, and Clyde must have told 
me; but I can't remember.&nbsp; </BLOCKQUOTE> 
 
&nbsp;&nbsp; these symptoms sound like a stroke...a small stroke.
