yes, boys and girls. it's the return of the trumpet thread, a highly sophisticated system of monitoring and reporting back the appearance of said instrument in songs of fairly good to excellent calibre. why, just this evening i was listening to a lovely homage to dear old grandma thatcher by those devilish rogues the undertones. lo and behold our friend the trumpet tickled me from the outset and did a bit of showing off half way through. i felt impelled to relaunch this inquiry thus furthering our contribution to the collective body of musical knowledge. it's going to happen. and that's also the name of the song.
keep adding.

grand job. keep em coming. we could be on to something here comrades. i think my hunt for a reference book for publishing could finally be at an end. an anthology of contemporary music featuring the trumpet. surely it hasn't been done yet. we could slip in a potted history of the artists with quotes on the origins of the songs together with a few tefal heads commenting on the trumpet riffs, how they compare to the classics *strokes chin* that sorta thing. duality of shelf-life. music lite next to britney's annual and creaking on the top shelf next to eh, next to eh, er anyway. a woman i know spent four years traipsing round the country recording neolithic sites for her reference book. don't get me wrong, it's an ok book. and fun to apply, if you're into converging with other woolen-jumpered humourless people on sundays who have neutral accents and little shame in sitting drinkless in a pub for five hours straight. she was dripping wet more often than not, and probably sought sanctuary in the houses of yellow-toothed batchelor where beetroot and other suspicious food stuff were consumed out of a sense of blind obligation. that seems an awful lot of bother to get a book published, says me. i bet i could find come up with a reference book from the pit of my den. keep going, folks. we'll share the royalities. 3% to be split between tc/ian for the photo/illustrations obviously.

The Stunning - Heads, Half Past Two and Brewing Up A Storm...admirable use of the trumpet by our west coast heroes.
This Guy's In Love With You - Herb Albert
Was there one in Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head? Think there was. Burt was a great man for the trumpet....not that he liked to blow his own about that.

over the hillside/ let's go out tonight/ from a midnight train - blue nile
never underestimate how deft a few stray trumpet lines are at tippy toeing around a song to gather up enough melancholia to bend you treble.

Jaysus, woman....ye're on the late shift. Hubert up to his oul tricks again...? Mixing vodka and diesel's the road to no town - I've said it before...
Nice wee bit of trumpet at the start of the Committments' version of Try A Little Tenderness, if I recall correctly. Maybe the original too...?

say what you like about diana ross, but 'i'm coming out' is a wee groover with a good splash of the aul trumpet. though it could be the trombone in the solo but sure we'll say no more.
plus 'sir duke' from wondrous stevie.
