Yeah, the alloy they used here really was suitable for horizontal trumpets or 32 footers. Almost all the brombaughs had square 16’ and 32’s if I recall, and really heavy lead 8’ers and smaller.
Actually I take that back. All the brombaughs I’ve played had wood bass pipes, but google tells me this is one of his.
Jimmy Buffett’s 1978 You Had To Be There is my absolute favourite live album. Perfect blend of live arrangements, musicality, audience banter, improvised lyrics, storytelling, and heartfelt singing. He and The Coral Reefer band were totally in the moment, and every-time I listen they bring me into that moment too. Of all the great songs and runs on the double-LP, the centerpiece is that version of God’s Own Drunk.
Can’t say I care much for his studio stuff, though. Which puts me at odds with the both the Parrotheads and everyone else in the world who cringes when I try to profess my singular love for this album.
ABACAB is art.
I see you’re going for the far end of unpopular.
There is an Aerosmith song I like.
Hmm… Most of the trompettes en chamade I’ve seen have been copper. Wooden 16’ ranks aren’t uncommon, I guess, but I don’t see a lot of 'em: I’ve seen mainly German Baroque and French styles.
That took some serious courage, friend. Serious courage.
I have a coworker/friend whom I respect quite a bit. She’s seen them in concert twice. Each time she wore the concert shirt to work the next day. That we’re still friends is a testament to her other virtues.
After The Bends, they didn’t want to come up too fast…
Just for you, I’ve queued up Domino: Part I In the Glow of the Night and Part II The Last Domino.
I could really go down a pipe hole on this one 
(I think those are a couple of 64’s at the Disney place)
This building used to have the most impressive pipe organ I had seen, but I never got to hear it. It ended up becoming a Waterstone’s store and the organ was dismantled. They probably still have photos of it on site, but I don’t see any netside.
I once missed running into Mark Leyner there by only a few minutes, he was doing a reading that I really wish I knew about in advance.
Is it about pizza?
Gaaahhhh! Make it stop! (The last picture.)
What, you don’t like Geary designed organs? (Snicker)
In a word, no.
The thing looks like a cluster of mineral crystals. Pretty.
Geary is… Polarizing. I really like his forms in moderation, but almost all of my friends haaaaate him.
EMP is actually kind of cool on the inside… Externally, I dunno. At least it isn’t the same ol same ol. It is kinda cool riding the monorail over it.
I enjoyed the emp. I would go back.
Unfortunately the best music museum in the world I have ever seen (sorry NYC) is the PHX MiM. I shed a tear walking in there, and I kick myself for not volunteering to be a docent.
Frank Gehry, by any chance?
Yup!
