When was  the last time you heard a trumpet  player ask what 
size baseball bat  his friend uses?

A better question to ask a trumpet player first is what size baseball  HAT do 
you wear??!! Knowing how big our "head" is often reveals a lot about our  
relational trumpet skills................how we talk and act, versus how our  
horn talks and acts!! I may have a different line on this because I play in the  
amateur camp, where we deal with position and ability and the jockeying that  
goes with it!! Are you better on this chart or do you just think you are, or  
want to prove you are!! Last night we played a concert where we had a lead  
player subbing on 4th. I play the 2nd book, but had a solo chart on one of the  
numbers and I passed it down for him to play, the lead guy said "I can  play 
that" and I just responded----so can I, but I would like him to  play it!! I am 
friends with both guys, but realize how important our personality  and 
relational styles help or hinder our quest for a successful journey and  to me a 
successful journey does not always mean playing lead!!
