Knowledge of how to really handle a…n…instrument. And stuff. **Davebear** , you silly thing. I wasn’t giving you the cold shoulder or being bitchy. I _meant_ the Thank You because you seemed so glad to see me! And I really wanted a hug. (Ok, and a kiss, and whatever else I can get, but you know what I mean.) I was not in any way trying to be obnoxious. ---

Gazing deeply into her eyes, he traces the line of her cheek, her jaw, then gently tilts her chin as he leans in to brush his lips, feather soft, across hers. As fiery chills run down his spine, he pulls back, to show her the passion smouldering in his eyes. Slowly he leans in again, this time to kiss her soft, sweet lips more firmly, hungrily, searchingly. As her lips part to let out a soft moan, he inhales it as the life-giving force it is, then sweeps her up and turns for the stairs. \* > [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by betenoir \* > \*\*Oh, good.

Triple-tonguing, eh? :dubious: Okay… _takes deep breath and goes tikiti-tikiti-tikiti through a rather ambitious cadenza_ Yep, this tongue can do other stuff as well 😛 But meanwhile… **DB** , if you’re not too preoccupied for a spot more flugel, I’ll sing the first couple verses and we’ll busk it from there.

I thought every trumpeter learned _Bugler’s Holiday_. I LOVE that piece. I have at least three recorded versions of it. Raphael Mendez, Al Hirt with the Boston Pops, and The President’s Own (The Marine Corps Drum & Bugle Corps). Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever really played it on the flugel, though. It should be interesting, though. And, it was a happy day, for both myself and the future-Mrs-and-Ex-Mrs-Bear, when I discovered one can triple-tongue while _sucking_, as well as while blowing. First time I ever heard her scream. 😃 Bravo! Nice rip, on that cadenza. Y’know when that shark bites With his teeth, dear Scarlet billows, Starts to spread Fancy gloves, though Wears ol’ Mac Heath, dear So, there’s never! Never a trace of red… I _love_ Mac the Knife! It used to be my bar song. And, if anyone ever managed to get me drunk enough to do karaoke, it would probably be the song I’d pick to sing. And, sorry about the ladies. Ya gotta be quick! 😃 But, there are still lots of lovelies available. ---

No worries, **DB**. Can’t keep the ladies waiting 😃 As to the :dubious:, I’ve only been blowing this thing for… oooh… bit less than a year and a half. But a guy does his best 🙂 Now, singing, on the other hand: _hits a cojones-laden A off the bottom of the bass stave and warbles up a three-octave chromatic scale_… I’ll cheerfully sing Mac the Knife sober 😃 On the sidewalk Sunday morning Lies a body Oozin’ … hmm-hmm… Someone sneakin’ Round the corner - Could that someone Be Mac the Knife? :eek: _launches into wild improv while **DB** picks up the verse about the tugboat_. C’mon, someone must have a tea-chest, a broom handle, a hinge and four feet of string, surely? ---

Not as a trap! As a bass! Unless someone happens to be toting a string bass already, in which case we’re laughing. But if no-one’s brought one, five minutes with a screwdriver and off we go. Sheesh, some guys are so suspicious… just 'cos they go cornering all the babes, while the rest of us are keeping the music going. 😃 _gears up for the last verse…_ Weeelllll, that Jenny Diver! Suky Taudry! Lottie Lenya! And Lucy Brown! Oh, that line forms On the right, babe, Now that MacHeath’s, MacHeath’s back in town - Back in towwwwwn!!!
