Hey Dave
Thanks for the info, it brought a smile to my face...specially the part about putting alcohol on your pistons. Very original
Thats not something I wanna do with a Martin Committee though. Maybe buying an old horn at a pawn shop might be the answer. Sad thing is that even in the severe cold, the beauty of my tone is my trademark and why I make good $.
Thanks Dave

When it is that cold you can't worry about the beautiful tone of a pro-horn and the pro-horn has tighter tolerances so they freeze up faster. old geezer Dave  |
