[TPIN] Water

[Dave Arndt]

Norb,

I will indeed try this (out of curiosity more than anything else)... but
this is at best acadmic.  When you're on the stand, and you've got 4 bars to
switch from trumpet to flugel, there isn't much time for "spit valve
acrobatics".

<g>

But I will "give it a whirl"... so to speak.
