[Dixielandjazz] Putting One's Head In The Sand

[Stephen G Barbone]

The negativity of some about Chop Saver is astounding. It's like don't  
confuse me with the facts.

For those with open minds,  "The Canadian Brass" are endorsing and  
selling it on their online site.
http://www.canadianbrassstore.com/cbgreen.html

Or see roughly 4 pages of chopsaver testimonials from trumpet players  
including JAZZ MUSICIANS at
http://www.TrumpetMaster.com/vb/141/chopsaver-22105-2.html

Or see several postings on the TPIN about it including one about a  
female jazz trombonist who also teaches belly dance. <grin>

Why go outside the list to where those UGH, classical players are?  
(jazz players are there too)

Because that's where most of the  information on jazz,  music and new  
product is. What do we have on the DJML? A miniscule bit of  
information about it, none of the DJML musicians use it  and  that it  
doesn't sell well in a couple of music stores.  Well, we've never been  
much for current events and it seems as if some of us don't want to  
make any effort to find out what's happening. Should that surprise us?

To find out about Chopsaver and where it is being sold, just google  
search Chopsaver. After the first 30 pages, those 32000 hits start to  
repeat themselves.

Cheers,
