Ed,

I just got back from a month which I spent nearly all of on the road. I didn't even bring a trumpet with me for a 10 day trip (which was the longest I've ever gone). I buzzed a bit though. I have a two fold topic here.

First, I was wondering if you could share you're experience with staying in shape while on the road and how you go about doing that when you don't have a time or place to practice well? What are your priorities? Buzzing? singing? etc.

Secondly, what are your feelings on taking a significant amount of time off every once in a while? Maybe a week or two each year. I know after I came back from the 10-day respite I felt great after 4 or 5 days of getting back into shape.

Does anyone else have experience with either of these topics?

Matt
