Shinawatra explained the use of confiscated drug (dirty) money, as the police there

Hi, if anyone wants to talk about horns, here's a request: I am considering
purchasing a Holton H179 (or one of those similar models) because I like its
sound, intonation, and it seems to fit me in terms of the way I play (I'm
an amateur, not always in tip-top shape, and I feel as if I am working
I play in a WW quintet and a brass quintet and found that once in a while
playing with a metronome is very good for checking where we might tend to
drag or rush the composition. We typically get the best results by piping
the metronome's audio output into an amplifier.
