I just gotta acknowledge that there are some freakin wonderful people here.

Earlier I happened to mention that I'd bought a bass trombone and now had to buy some mutes. Well, one poster here (I won't out him out of courtesy, but I encourage him to self-identify) wrote me and said, in effect, "Hey, I just bought a bunch of new mutes, you can have my old ones for free if you want." I enthusiastically took him up on his offer, not knowing if he was serious or it was just well-intentioned talk.

Well, today I got a delivery! (Sorry about the photo quality. Dog not included! :mrgreen: )

I had offered to at least pay him for shipping, but he declined and now here they are!

That is certainly a kindness that I never expected and am extremely grateful for. Restores my faith in humanity. (Well, in trombonists, anyway. ;) )

This place has some damn good folks in it. :)

Thank you kind sir! You know who you are. :good: Raise your hand so everyone can see you!

I don't like the way that pup is eyeing those mutes...

Great deed indeed!
