Found a local orchestra and is having great fun with it. Mostly came back to her with just a little bit of focus needed to relearn the particularly precise aspects of playing</p>
<p>I'll be playing some Isonzo over at <a href="https://cast.samsai.eu/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">cast.samsai.eu/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> in about 15 minutes. There's a new expansion with a new level, so let's see how it plays. See you in the chat!</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@sgillies" class="u-url mention">@<span>sgillies</span></a></span> I had my horns (including the one I played in grade school). But, I went out and bought myself a new horn anyways. I figured why not?!</p>
<p>The vendor is willing to waste more time of their employees than you do of your own. It has no 'code of ethics' or considerations for its own future. _In a fair fight it will win._</p><p>1. DON'T FIGHT A VENDOR<br />2. USE YOUR BRAIN<br />3. USE DRUGS</p>
<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@dabeaz" class="u-url mention">@<span>dabeaz</span></a></span> Had you kept your trombone? I'm without a horn these days. I suppose I could rent like a middle school kid does.</p>
<p>Anyways, if you played band in high school, it's never too late to take it up again. There's probably some community band nearby you can join. You'll probably find that your playing comes back a lot faster than you think. I hadn't played in like 25 years when I started again.</p>
