Hi Don,
  Saw Marcus Hampton playing with a modified trumpet mouthpiece.
  He was suffering form Bell's Palsey at the time.
   
  He had a piece of plastic attached to his mouthpiece and 
  was playing very well.
   
  This was a few years ago at the Suncoast Jazz Classic at
  Sheraton Sand Key, Clearwater Beach, Fl.
   
  Hope this is of some help.

Well Hell...........You just never know do you?

I am the cornet p;layer for a nice Trad. Jazz band here.

I was told two weeks ago, in an emergency room, that I had suffered a small 
stroke.

After some tests, I was told, by a neurologistm that it was Bell's palsy

At present, I am unable to play at all.

I have been told that, since it seems to be a mild case, I will probably 
recover completely.

I would imagine that a 95% recovery would not be enough.

Have any of you had any experience with this?

Don Hale
