[Dixielandjazz] B-flat and its effect

[billsharp]

I love the education I get reading this stuff . . . . . And from the 
most recent articles on B-flat resonance I  have put 2 and 2 together, 
and now know why women have  always been more attracted to the brass 
players rather than the players of other instruments - -it's because 
trumpet and trombone players, for example,  are B-flat 
instrumentalists.

I figure also that someone could probably work this notion into of of 
those cheap romance novels . . . " . . .as the trumpet player took long 
deep breaths, he produced some hot music, and the very tones he 
produced with his flashy B-flat instrument caused her skin to prickle.

Suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, he produced a piercing high 
B-flat.  He knew that she had been listening, so he held it longer than 
any note he had ever held before.  He noticed too that her eyes were 
wide open, but glazed, and she was now in a trance. Reaching deep 
within himself he drove home yet another strong and powerful B-flat, 
then carefully used his half valves to slide down to B-flat on the 
staff, and then continued caressing the note down to the B-flat below 
the staff, always keeping an eye on the beautiful woman whose attention 
he had captured.  He definitely would not be leaving the building 
alone, and knew that the minute he stepped off the stage that she would 
be by his side.

He never left a gig alone, because he knew the secret and the magic of 
B-flat and the wonders it could work.   (Thank god he'd switched from 
playing the washboard, where he'd never  been able to produce any note 
whatsoever, and always went home alone)". . . . . to be continued.
