Shouts of freedom

Screams of victory!

History is history! Finally the dreaded papers, namely harmony and history, are over! The smell of freedom never smelt so much like a... practice studio. What on Earth? Oh well, since the Principal Studies examinations have not yet passed, what else to do other than coop yourself up in the practice studio and breathe trumpet.

Now comes the complaints. Why is that other instrumentalists can afford to practice lesser, and do as well as, or even better than those who spend so many hours a day practicing and frustrating the shit out of themselves? Is it simply because our instruments are tougher to master, or even work to an efficient level? Or are we simply too dumb to do what we do?

I think I should take up yoga lessons. But that will mean lesser expenditure on food and other materialistic stuff.

Here's more videos to end off the post.

I Can't Get Started. Performed by American entertainer, Sammy Davis, Jr.



Look what happens when that lovely piece falls into the hands of a trumpeter, specifically Doc Severinsen.




Amazing.
