Not a problem Dave, when the band takes a break just lean over and bend the 
bell back down, :))

Maybe he plays that horn for medicinal reasons, ( not to blow out the ear 
drums of the guy sitting or standing in front of him by deflecting the shrill 
trumpetness into the air above him. :))   Now if he puffs out his cheeks as well, 
then shame shame shame upon  the charleton, who the heck told him he was Cool 
anyway?    Probably passes himself off as Dizzy's great grandson as well.

Cheers,
Tom Wiggins
