This is a good time, uh, this is a good time for accountability, es- especially for me.

The other day I attended a great, uh, seminar given by John Lewis that, going over the warmups and the airflow and the airstream and the mouthpiece buzzing and all that stuff, and, uh, you know, at least keeping that going and is, uh, you know, something that, that I think we can all benefit from at this point, and, uh, just getting into a little more head space of, uh, you know, personal, uh, issues and things that we're working out and things we wanna make better and that kind of stuff.

So that's kinda where I'm at now.

And, uh, uh, heavily into the Clarke, uh, Characteristics Studies book at the moment, so-

Jim, what, what's your warm-up like?

Well, my warm-up, I, I try to make it short, but, uh, I try to make it very air intensive, so that I'm concentrating just on getting the air moving and getting the vibration of the lips going.

So that can be long tones, it can be simple lip slurs, e- expanding scales.
