I can't do that anymore, though -- I now have a padded "gig bag", but it's worth it to not have to carry mutes 'n' wind clips separately. Let's start a thread on fun things to do with instruments! This isn't very useful, but it's an interesting idea: On trigger bones, try sticking a spitball inside the tuning slide and pumping the slide to build pressure. (Not good for your instrument -- I don't do it) At The Critical Moment, pull the trigger, wince at the cracked note, and laugh as your enemies wallow in the stinking mud-pit of defeat. It's kind of fun to take a euphonium (to branch out within the low brass section) and place it upon one's shoulder, pretending it's some sort of missle launcher. My friend the tuba (player) keeps her water bottle, music, lyre, and paperback novel in her horn during marching season. Et tu...? - - Peter Destructo "I never quite understood why they couldn't use words from the English language, instead of changing the meanings. It's now like I could walk up to someone on the street and say (not that I would, as this is just an example) 'Did you see that person over there? Boy, he looks stupid!', and I'll get a response like this 'Yeah, he looks dope!'. It's a crazy world we live in." - Michael Martin I am not an anti-gun film! ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 25 Aug 1999 20:12:34 PDT From: "Ryan Sargent" Subject: Re: "Don't try this at home, kids," or, What Are These Things Good For, Anyway? (was: something else) >Let's start a thread on fun things to do with instruments! Speaking of such... I recommend that all trumpet players learn as many sound effects as you can. So far I've learned how to growl, laugh, make it sound like a monkey, a woman sighing, and a seal. And a REALLY LOUD, VIOLENT growl I made up. You hum, growl, and flutter tongue (roll R's) all at the same time while playing with a plunger. It's good for scaring somebody between songs. Then learn to Circular Breath! GROWL: Hum and growl from the bottom of your throat while playing. LAUGH: Use a plunger (drill hole through center if needed) and do fast falls from a higher to a lower note. (takes a lot of practice) MONKEY: Play all three valves half valve while playing high back to back triplets. SIGH: Same as the laugh except slower and more gradual (slur down about two notes) SEAL: Squeak out a high note with a very short/fast fall. _______________________________________________________________ Get Free Email and Do More On The Web.

This is some unique stuff, and it might have some appeal to Zipperheads... I like it anyway :-) It's kinda salsa, kinda ska, kinda reggae, kinda old jazz, kinda techno, kinda calypso. I like it better than anything I've ever heard classified as "ska" or "salsa". Fun, fast, catchy. "Mambo Number 5" is the hot song, hard to avoid if you listen to the radio. It grabbed me... best thing going around the 90-minute turn right now. "Baby Keep Smiling" - neat little retro tune with just enough techno-riffing and dialog ("mobile phone") to remind you it's brand new. "Can I Tico Tico You" - great, hot calypso that reminds me of "Hell" in some ways. "I Got a Girl" - great song. This guy writes some great lyrics, as simple as they sound. Some of these other pop bands could use a lesson or two from Lou. Etc, etc... the album is brand new (released yesterday, 8/24). It comes out of Germany and their web site (www.loubega.de) is all in German although there are dead hooks for an English version under construction. The guy sounds American to me, but the production is all German and his summer tour is all European. Methinks with this release Mr. Bega will be booking a U.S. tour soon. Probably an American that got tired of being jacked by the record companies and went to Europe to get off the ground. Look what Hamburg did for the Beatles... I'm just curious as to what some of us SNZ/BOF fanatics think of this. Everybody has their quirks (I've already met people who HATE "Mambo") but it always makes my day/week/month when something brand new really grabs me. Oh yeah, Lou is a little bit of Sam the Sham & The Pharoahs too :-) If anyone remembers Sam and can see/hear the analogy speak up. Sample Sam lyric: "My gal is RED hot" (chorus) "Your gail ain't diddley squat" Andy ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 26 Aug 1999 01:00:14 -0400 From: Andy Harman Subject: Re: seeds and jeopardy At 08:11 PM 8/25/99 -0400, you wrote: > >i guess snz isn't as big as we thought...
