There once was a man from Nantucket, who liked to play leapfrog with trumpet?!?   My mind is riddled with filthy debauchery as well, please do tell.

Nothing as colorful as you are thinking.  But here it is.
MY neighbor and myself had a duo in Michigan.  Played locally etc. I had a TS4-K  drum machine played rythnms etc. with feet.  Anyway my husband said he used to play trumpet in high school.  So we bought a 380 dollar trumpet so he could play with us.   I used a keyboard and figured out the notes for him on an old Johnny Cash song. Ring of Fire  has the trumpet parts.  Anyway he said he couldn't read the notes as the way I put them down.   A B C F G  whatever.  He wanted them wrote out like music.  So I did this. Then he said but I don't know if they are 8th notes qtr. notes etc. I said to him can't you hear ta ta ta ta ta ta ta.  He said no!!! I asked him what his postiion was in high school band and he said he was first chair trumpet player.  I asked how many were there He said 3.  No wonder he was first doesn't take to many.  He cannot play anymore. LOL We almost go divorced before we got married over a silly trumpet.  Now it is just a joke  And I just bought a coronet a week ago on an aution. What a Ninny am I.  Maybe I can learn to play it.  He still glares at me when I tell people of the trumpet and his playing.  Oh the trumpet stayed in Mi. when we moved.  LOL

StevieG my heart goes out to you, I was laid off a total of 4 times but each time I've managed to get another job. The last when I was 59 years young so good luck.

My present job is Managing a warehouse for a small distributing co where I also set valves for boilers and luckily so far we have not seen any sign of falling orders.

I now look forward to my pension days where I shall be able to strum all day without the need of having to work.

Keep on Strumming

Eddy.
