@GrantSpeaks1 This is the same guy that declared Arch Manning the greatest college football player of all-time before he was even a starting QB. @espn This is the negativity you endorse and want being put out into the world? College football would be much more positive without Paul Finebaum.

Congrats and Happy 100th Birthday to The Biltmore Los Angeles. I loved being at the Centennial Gala and the Golden Era Reception in the Gold Room followed by dinner & entertainment in the Crystal Ballroom. Since 1923, The Biltmore Los Angeles has played host to countless dignitaries and celebrities, from President John F. Kennedy to The Beatles, making it a living legend in the world of hospitality. The hotel was designated a Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Monument in 1969. It was also the location for numerous films, music videos, award ceremonies including The Los Angeles Press Club National Arts and Entertainment Journalism Awards and the Southern California Journalism Awards where I have received six awards. Wishing you 100 more years!

@Jennabanenna22 Assume they have the best intentions unless there’s an indication otherwise :) then you have the green light to flip out but everything will be okay

[Joe Pompliano @JoePompliano]

U2 opened the $2.3 billion Las Vegas Sphere last night and the visuals are incredible 🤯

[Derek in Burbank @derekpylemusic]

@Jennabanenna22 Extremely useful though !!!

Ever get friend requests from your 7th grade football friends? 😂 Sorry man - really looks like you haven’t changed but hoping for the best.

@Komaniecki_R She sounds great on this take, but it was edited for pitch adjustment before posting.

[kev @kevyandrews]

@Komaniecki_R downloaded the video, isolated the vocals, and put it into melodyne; it definitely looks like there was pitch correction. every single note-center is centered, and every in-between note is also centered exactly in the middle of a note.

so, yes, and likely also a good take too!

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

Ok so we all know I’m not good at detecting real vs. digital, so help me out: do you all think pitch correction was used here? Obviously no judgement either way, but just curious. The last riff in particular seems… tricky.

@gauertrombone “Class has now begun. Please turn to page 74 in your textbooks. Today we will be discussing Chapter 7: The Vine Era. Who would like to read first?”

@shakkattackk I don’t really have an issue with people who buy used police cruisers - I understand being on a budget, and most of these are so old they’re easy to spot. But the FORD EXPLORERS !!! They all get some type of sexually-driven ego trip on the road ….. They know they look like cops.

Fantastic

An antibiotic-resistant bacteria was discovered for the first time in L.A. County and experts are concerned, saying the fast-spreading bacteria poses great health risks, especially for those who are immunocompromised.

Dick Nash is widely regarded as the most recorded trombonist of all-time, playing a staggering 3,000 recording sessions throughout his career. Now at the age of 95, Dick Nash is still playing trombone every day - and still playing things that will make you fall out of your chair.

Have had a blast recently playing the show “Urinetown” at Harvard-Westlake School! Since moving back to LA, I’ve spent the past year working on my doubles and am starting to feel as comfortable on bass trombone and euphonium as I am on jazz and classical tenor trombone.
