Gang,
I know most of you don't know me or my playing or my 
teaching.  So at the risk of sounding condescending, I 
thought I would share a tip or two from time to time and 
see how it goes over.  I can stop anytime if it gets 
annoying.

tip for the day:
Most of the work is done before we play:
1.  Getting a clear enough idea in our heads of what we 
want to play.
2.  Getting a good breath in the body.
3.  Getting enough lip in the mouthpiece.
4.  Getting enough enthusiasm in our soul.
Take care of those four items and watch what happens!
John
