Re: Facial Hair on Trumpeters

I'll tell the real truth. Facial hair makes you play better. If you think you look "groovy" you'll play "groovy". Also, females like trumpet players with hair more than those without. Another reason is that it helps the mouthpiece stay centered like a bumper-car between two rails. Razor blades last longer, and electric shavers don't use as much electricity. It gives you something to play with during long rests. Shaping facial hair like your trumpet idol will help to sound like him more than playing the same trumpet, or using the same mouthpiece. Lack of facial hair is why females make better drivers than trumpet players, unless they use hormones, proven by the fact that some hair is required on a female trumpet player by the musicians union in Timbucktoo. I have to go now, my barber just arrived.
