[Dixielandjazz] Brass Playing Mishaps

[Dan Augustine]

DJMLers--
     No, life is not always pretty, nor fair.  Mistakes do happen from 
time to time.  Just count yourself lucky if you're not being 
recorded.  I just got this message from Danny Hamilton, who 
co-ordinates emailings for the Air Force Musicians Association.

     "Brass Playing Mishaps
Every brass player has tasted total humiliation at some time. Here 
are some anonymous recordings, collected from around the Globe, of 
players experiencing the ultimate discomfort. As you laugh remember, 
next time it could be you!!!"

     Only a couple of jazz excerpts, but some mistakes were so funny i 
laughed out loud (and yes, i bin there, done that myself).  (Yeah, 
right, i'm laughing WITH the player....)
