Re: You Ok Wade?
Wade,
I am so glad you and Scottye made it through that OK. Make sure that when the scientists go through to "F" scale it, you make sure you tell them it took your lunch!
It was also good to hear the cats rode it out OK as well.
And you guys gigged it. True professionals.

Hooah indeed. Professional on many levels. We don't get tornados or hurricanes in the Northwest. Just sayin'.

This image:

really shows the fickle oddities of tornadoes. The winds were easily over 100 mph. - probably >150. But the drinking straws are still in their bin like some pimply-faced kid just stocked the condiment bar. Yet a man was lifted to his death in a 3000 pound vehicle.
Glad you and yours made it through, Wade. I grew up around those things; they aren't something to screw around with.

I am convinced that 90% of the problems with rhythm, tone, intonation, articulation, technique, and overall prowess on the horn are related to air issues.

I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.
