[Dixielandjazz] new valves [was: RE: Cornet Chop Suey]

[Jerry Gordon]

I don't understand how replacing a valve in your trumpet gives you all that
stamina, but what do I know - I'm a washboarder.

I'm sure Tony will be fine, Jude! I had that valve replacement op six years
ago and climbed a 3,000 ft mountain eight weeks later. I go hill walking two
days every week and yesterday went to Wales to climb a hill just under 2,000
feet (mind you, I had a heart attack without knowing it climbing the same
hill 18 months ago, but it was nothing to do with the valve).

Best wishes to Tony for a recovery like mine.
