New Hobby
Allright - I have finally started something I've been thinking about for a few years - collecting vintage photos of trumpeters! I have some ebay bids on some good ones now. Have any of you found any interesting old photos lately? Has anyone else started a fun new hobby?

I wouldn't want to play in Saddam's section! All his notes would be right, even though they were not! Flugelgirl, I imagine you are interested in paper, vintage photos to hang on your wall? I know, If you google most any one you like, and hit the Images button, there will be some to look at or download. I did that for several miscellanous Maynard tracks I liberated, for the CD plastic case, and others. I have many lp's with some good cover photos of Harry James and others.

NO!

It is not a trumpet, rather an IED (improvised euthanasian device).

The sand in the desert down there is as fine as baby powder. It gets into EVERYTHING! I think the valves would hold up for 2 or 3 years max if you are playing alot.

Yes, I am looking for actual photos - not reproductions, posters, or magazine pages, although vintage promo photos are cool, depending on who they are. The ones I'm really looking for are the old cabinet photos of your average player with their horn, or later misc. trumpet photos. Here's an example of a photo I just won... VINTAGE PHOTO of FETCHING YOUNG MAN in TUX with TRUMPET - eBay (item 300222185657 end time May-09-08 18:00:18 PDT)

I find these fascinating, because this could be any one of us down the road - know what I mean? I guess that means label all your promo photos with your name, because then when someone collects them 80yrs from now, you will be remembered!
BTW, there are album sized frames now so you can display your favorite LP cover - very cool!

Are you suggesting we should send you pictures of ourselves tooting our horns?

Be careful what you ask for.
