My maiden name means church in old European Literature. And Roland is in the family too. I've always wanted to learn the bag pipes. Since I played first chair trumpet until Junior High and I was asked to learn and play the French Horn in our band I know I could have played them well.

Our high school band in the 60's had well over 130 members. I earned first chair in my freshman year. I was born with a good embouchure for those instruments...(God's gift)Music kept my home life sane.

πŸš«πŸ›‘ Turkey Stands Firm: Ukraine's NATO Dream Denied! πŸ›‘πŸš«

In a stunning twist, Turkey emerges as a key player, adamantly refusing to allow Ukraine's entry into NATO! Behind closed doors, Turkey's strong ties with Russia come to light, as they quietly position themselves to join the BRICS alliance with a groundbreaking German banking system slated for 2028. This German-led subsidiary system, intricately connected to the Russian and Chinese BRICS alliance, will operate under a different name within the EU's digital framework. Yes, our predictions have come true, and the time for this seismic shift is imminent!

RE: the French Horn

My husband always wanted to play the French horn, so one year, he bought a beautiful instrument and made arrangements to take lessons from a retired band teacher.

The teacher would come to my husband’s office for his lessons. He wouldn’t let him play the French horn until he could blow the mouthpiece correctly.

My husband dutifully practiced. Later he learned people in the neighboring offices had begun to look around for the source of a strange “moose-like” noise. He finally graduated to the instrument, but accidently dropped it, and that was that.
