[TPIN] Air and Stomach Conception

[fields at stanford.edu]

Recently Charley Davis told me to forget everything and concentrate on  
moving a lot of air and going for a beautiful sound.  Buzz, tongue  
level, etc, forget about them.  Your body will learn how to do this.   
Keep your corners firm, lips loose --he did the bubblebubblebubble  
thing with the edge of his finger.  This was out of Bill Adam.  Note:   
My representation of CD only.  Not necessarily him.  He did that  
interesting thing with the glass tube and the propane torch.  "Keep  
the air molecules moving."
