[Hornlist] Oil in lead pipe & practice schedule

I came into the conversation late but, my goodness, guys The main thing is not getting the groadies into the horn and not allowing your acids to eat it away. A bit of oil down the leadpipe regularly will help a lot. A good swish of Listerine gets most of it out of your mouth. I see mor
