“Gyp” is now consider by some to be offensive, but “jip” is OK?
My only experience with Gypsies was seeing a number of Gypsy women and children begging on the street, pretending they were asking for donations for American Indian children. This was a very long time ago; by now those children are approaching Social Security age.
That’s what lip muscles are for, kid. (A common misconception among non-brass-players is that only 3 “buttons” means you only have 3 notes. However, on French horn, for example, I can play as many as 19 notes on each fingering combination.)
What happened to gyp?Mind you, one of our football clubs is being badgered by the lefty marshmallow snowflakes to change their club song because the TUNE is supposedly derived from an “offensive” song.What a joke.
