The show notes for this episode are https://trumpetdynamics.com/trumpetvinnie2. I believe I left out the number 2 during the interview because I initially planned to have this be one giant episode, but wisely chose to break it into two parts.And what a part this is. Vinnie and I dove deep into the "why" of playing trumpet. The "How" tends to be rather superficial, which is why I don't have much interest in podcasts like that. But the "why" is what gets me excited, and Vinnie surely did not disappoint with his insightful comments in this one.Enjoy!What you'll hear in this episode:-More in-depth dialogue on the "good day and great day" concept...05:05-The need for healthy lifestyle for success on trumpet and overall quality of life...08:30-Self-loathing equates to loathing your environment...13:30-Why and how Vinnie has played with a rare condition that causes loss of feeling on the left side of his body...17:20-If you can feel your face, you're ahead of the game!...25:00-Shame is a wasted emotion...32:00-Keeping things real regarding the importance of trumpet...36:00-Adapting to radically changed physicality, and thoughtfully losing weight so it stays off...43:30-Music a salve for tremendous joy and intense loss...53:45-Are we "called" to trumpet?...58:45-A father's offhand comment while watching TV proves prophetic...01:03:30-Plus whatever your discerning ears deem worthy of your time and interest...Resources mentioned:Vinnie's websiteMy Fitness Pal appTrumpet Dynamics podcast with Beth PeroutkaAbout the Guest:Attending Towson University in Maryland, Vinnie Ciesielski majored in music performance on trumpet, which he has played professionally for over 50 years.Since coming to Nashville in 1992, Vinnie has played on thousands of recordings with artists such as Lyle Lovett, Travis Tritt, Tracy Byrd, Smokey Norful, Tanya Tucker, Glenn Frey, T.D.

Segment 4, September 16th, 2023 When Jimmy Buffet passed away on September 1st of this year the entire music community mourned.  This singer-songwriter, born  in 1946, helped define something that's been called tropical rock & "island escapism."  He sold over 20 million albums of his 30 released.  Eight of them are certified gold and nine are platinum or multi-platinum. He was known as an outdoorsperson.  His love of surfing, fishing, & living the outdoor lifestyle  were a big part of his persona & music. In fact, it was a change to a lyric of his first Top 40 hit, "Come Monday" that helped shine a light on his love for the hiking.  In fact, Buffet recognized "Come Monday" as a special song to him because of when it was written & to whom it was written.  He told David Letterman in an interview that it was written to his girlfriend while he was "heading up to San Francisco for the Labor Day Weekend show."  At the time he had been away from loved ones, his dog was in the pound, & he didn't have much money. He was staying in a Howard Johnson's in Mill Valley, California, and opening for Country Joe McDonald in San Anselmo, CA. The song's initial single release had the song's third line, "I've got my hiking shoes on."  However, Buffet changed in to the now iconic, "I've got my Hushpuppies on" referring to the brand of leather, leisure shoes that began in 1958. The success of that single in 1974 helped bring money, fame, & adoration that lasted throughout his career. Inside the hiking shoe & hiking boot store, Jesse Brown's, we think the lyric change was a good one.  However, it is also nice to know that the sailor, angler, & performer, also like to wear his hiking shoes.

Meet Andy Kaufman whose performance-art style comedy had the power to amuse, mystify, and (sometimes) offend during a short but brilliant run in the 1970s and 80s. A master of oddball characters, Andy first gained national fame with a groundbreaking spot on SNL in 1975, then in 1978 he took on the role of Latka the foreign mechanic on the smash TV sitcom Taxi. But fans who bought a ticket for his live show found themselves in a spectacle of edgy crowd work including a long-running bit in which Andy would wrestle female audience members for the "Intergender Wrestling Championship of the World." Was it all a put on? With Andy, who ever knew exactly where the line was drawn? As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Andy? Andy's breakout tv role was as Latka, a foreign mechanic, on Taxi. To take advantage of his range of characters, writers gave Latka multiple personality syndrome.

Show Notes Episode 418: Zay Zomething Different This week Host Dave Bledsoe thinks it's funny to order a Zima from a bartender who wasn't alive when Zima was a thing. (The bartender did not.) On the show this week we head back to the early 90's when Coors decided they wanted to toss their hat in the “clear craze” and released a drink that tasted like nothing ever before, because it tasted like nothing: Zima! (Are there WAY too many S's pronounced with Z's in this show? Unfortunately, yes.) Along the way we learn that Dave's Uncle is going to be in REAL trouble if Dave's Mom finds out he gave him booze when he was eight years old. (Sorry!) Then we dive right into the story of an obscure brewery that just wanted to make a name for itself in the “youth market” (By which we mean underage drinkers). So they created a new “malternative” to beer that no one asked for and no wanted. (Except maybe David Letterman.) We learn how it tasted (it didn't) and who it was marketed towards. (Dudes, and they didn't like it) We find out that David Letterman is really the guy who killed Zima. (Well, that and the dude who created it in the first place.) Finally we chart the longer and much slower than you remember decline of Zima and the rise of its successors.  Our Sponsor this week is Malt Liquor, it is any booze you want it to be. We open with two guys who just wanted a beer and close with Zorahna who has a little surprise for us in their trunk.

Late night television's David Letterman has been a fixture in American households since the early 80s. His wry wit, top ten lists, and willingness to take his show into unexpected directions, all for laughs, made him a comedy legend, but the man himself has often been beset by insecurity. One friend describes his "demonically low self-esteem," and perhaps that is why he has so often strayed into infidelity in his famously private personal life. Stacie has the details.

"The Long Goodbye" With close to ten fabulous albums under their musical belts, Candlebox have had quite a career. The Seattle outfit has sold millions of records, played Letterman and Woodstock, toured the world with the likes of everyone from Rush, Metallica, Foo Fighters and Our Lady Peace, and over the years counted among their personnel folks from bands like Pearl Jam, Dig and Ugly Kid Joe. And not only that, but their new album The Long Goodbye, might very well be their best yet. A smoldering blast of catchy hard rock and grungy bliss, The Long Goodbye is an affecting song cycle that burns with smoldering intensity on songs like the defiant Punks and bids farewell with the moving Hourglass, which is one of the best album closers in recent memory. So if Candlebox has never sounded better, why are they calling it a day on their career? Well, Kevin will explain and his explanation is hard to argue with. As a fan, it's a tough pill to swallow and in the back of your head you remember that they had breaks before--one was five years and one was a decade, so you think maybe this is a false alarm, but trust us: it's not. So when you listen to this, forget you're a fan and just be a person for a second. And if you can divide those two parts of yourself, you'll see, Kevin's decision to walk away is one that makes sense.  www.candleboxrocks.com www.bombshellradio.com www.alexgreenonline.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.embersarts.com Twitter: @emberseditor IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

Sponge is an American alternative rock band formed in Detroit, Michigan in 1992 by vocalist Vinnie Dombroski, guitarists Mike Cross and Joey Mazzola, bassist Tim Cross, and drummer Jimmy Paluzzi. After shopping demos as the newly formed quintet, the song “Neenah Menasha” caught the ears of A&R person Pablo Mathiason and the band signed with The Work Group (a Columbia Records subsidiary) in the fall of 1993.  The following year, Sponge released the now iconic, Platinum-selling debut album, “Rotting Piñata,” to global, critical and commercial success.   After two top 10 hit singles, several tours and live television performances, including the John Stewart Show and Late Night with David Letterman, Sponge followed up their debut with 1996's "Wax Ecstatic.” This sophomore effort garnered a "Song Of The Year" nod from Rolling Stone Magazine for title track “Wax Ecstatic.” The album also yielded two additional top 10 hit singles and featured a guest vocal appearance from Richard Butler of the Psychedelic Furs on the song “I Am Anastasia.” Since then, Sponge continues to release new music and keeps a near-constant tour schedule to the pleasure of their legion of loyal followers.   Tickets  for Sponge, C-Level, Slim Ross, and The Rumble    SEP 1ST -23 at Winchester Lakewood, OH https://www.ticketweb.com/event/sponge-at-the-winchester-the-winchester-tickets/13045225?pl=Winchester&REFID=clientsitewp       Sponge Info https://www.spongetheband.com

Laugh Tracks Legends of Comedy with Randy and Steve

A standup stalwart who stepped into the Tonight Show hosting gig when Johnny Carson retired, Jay Leno held that spot for 20 years. So when he finally retired, then unretired, then retired again (after some Succession-worthy intrigue) did Jay pick up the fishing pole? Nope! Instead he continued with frequent standup gigs, became a game-show host (You Bet Your Life), and launched a show about his friends and their cars (Jay Leno's Garage). As always find extra clips below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Jay Leno? Late night television went to war after Johnny Carson retired with battles over his successor. In that scrap, Leno was often pitted against the prickly David Letterman who many felt should have succeeded Carson. That feud led to a memorable ad during the 2010 Super Bowl featuring Jay, Dave, and "mediator" Oprah Winfrey. https://youtu.be/-KSKkmypTZM?si=le0WGVwrG5Fd3FyE When Jay moved to Los Angeles and became part of the comedy scene there in the late 1970s it was only a matter of time before he scored the Holy Grail of guest spots -- a slot on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show. Here's that first appearance from 1977 (and dig the green leisure suit). https://youtu.be/qvmQZ1jQjQk?si=NkLFMQagKE2sN1Iu One of Jay Leno's signature bits on The Tonight Show was "Headlines" in which Jay would read real headlines from local papers -- always with some bizarre or inappropriate typos. It was a hit and spawned a number of book spinoffs. https://youtu.be/L-xm_zjXFMw?si=ePezelqI_O89TRts Jay Leno is a workhorse -- he doesn't seem comfortable unless he has several projects in the fire. After he retired from The Tonight Show, one of those irons involved his love of old cars (he has a huge collection). This episode of Jay Leno's Garage featured Martha Steward reminiscing about her old Edsel station wagon. https://youtu.be/KaGqElpspm0?si=G2tosPABBwNoLmGE

But once you let go of the need to be right and focus on truly listening to each other, it opens up a whole new level of understanding and connection. Having difficult conversations is necessary for growth. It's not always easy, but being honest and open about your needs and desires can lead to positive changes in your relationships. The reality of relationships is often more subdued than what we see portrayed. Life gets in the way, and it's important to acknowledge that. It's okay if things aren't picture-perfect all the time. Learning and growth are ongoing processes. Taking initiative can make a big difference in relationships.

On this episode of the world famous Sofa King Podcast, we talk about the GOAT of late night television, Johnny Carson. At his height, he had the power to literally ask a comedian to stick around after a commercial break and make them overnight starts. David Letterman, Robin Williams, Rodney Dangerfield, Joan Rivers, and endless others claim that this single nod is what made their career. He single handedly changed late night programming into the format we recognize tonight. Carson was a brilliant comedian and show runner, though he did have some problems with liquor women.
