[Dixielandjazz] Solo Trumpet Duet

[Bill Gunter]

Hi all,

I appreciate the observation. Yes - I too thought it was a very funny bit.

The original suggestion for the bit came to me from fellow boondocker, Gary 
Church, who probably saw it or something quite similar someplace else.  
Anyway, the concept of "lip syncing" a trumpet solo in a convincing way and 
then having the horn continue to play after you've put it down can be really 
funny providing you make the appropriate faces and gestures when the horn 
refuses to shut up.

I especially liked the part where the comedian, after the first chorus, 
switched the mouthpiece to his nostril and played the second chorus.  -- I 
thought I'd wet my pants laughing!

Oh yes -- one other thing that has me in hysterics is the (current) intense 
debate over the intellect of the Dixie Chicks.

Keep it up guys, debating a fake argument is as funny a playing a fake 
trumpet.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "Eat your heart out, Harry James" Gunter
