Finally… My own valve oil line… ;)

Here it is… I’ve been threatening that I would do this for years, and it is finally here.

    Um… It’s very funny as long as it does not actually contain urine - yours, mine or anybody else’s… Mine would have traces of Bordeaux and small-batch Kentucky bourbon while I think yours would be nearly 100% beer.

    Urine, as you may well know from extensive reading, is acidic and therefore bad for… for… well, almost every part of ones horn. Consequently, I urge each of us, especially during election season, to remind young people to NEVER pee in their brass instruments even after what they saw in “Red Dawn.”

    Perhaps your product promotion department should consider another, more dignified name once this piss of yours takes off. “Golden Shower Valve Elixir,” “Al Hamilton’s Tinkle-Down Tonic,” “John Johnson’s Truly Special Trouser Snake Lube,” and “Dr. Bladder’s Famous and All-Natural Brass-Players Lightening Crotch Rocket Squeezins” should NOT be considered.

    This is only my opinion, offered in the spirit of grateful friendship for all the fabulous work you’ve done on my horns. What you do and how you do it in the dismal privacy of your workshop, and what special ingredients you employ, I happily leave to your well-tested judgment.

    Your humble (yet duly shocked) servant,
    Scott

    PS: Yes, I AM leaving this late in the evening and, yes, I HAVE had quite a lot of Bordeaux.
