Idle Thoughts After a Long Day

#1- Low humidity coupled with low temperatures is one of mother nature's many ways of saying "I hate you" to brass players. #2- Who on earth is bored enough to harmonize and orchestrate Charlie Parker's entire solo on "Confirmation" for a big band sax section? I'm sure it was cool at one time, and even I would have thought it was cool at one point in my life, but today I'm just not feeling it (possibly as a result of #1).
