Happy Birthday, Doc Severinsen
I just got the memo that today is the birthday of the STILL-LIVING Carl “Doc” Severinsen (b. 1927). Severinsen was a transitional figure of a very rare sort when I was a kid. Rock and roll had caused such a rift in popular culture in the 1950s and ’60s, that there were very few figures from the big band era who managed to remain on top on show biz after the revolution. Severinsen was obviously…

I've ranted about this elsewhere, but I wanted to share the rant here, too.
Pictured is a Getzen trumpet. My Getzen trumpet, from my high school and college trumpet-playing days (along with all the mutes that went with it). To be fair, I haven't played it in decades. And, to be fair, I had left it in what I thought was the relative safety of my ex's attic. I have bins of stuff of hers; she had some stuff of mine. On Saturday, we finally orchestrated a long-sought-after (by me) exchange of stuff. While she had mentioned that there had been a leak in the roof several years back, she did not mention that the trumpet case had been soaked, and that she had never done anything - like, anything - to dry it out. So, my trumpet has been sitting in a soggy case for, literally, years. I mean, the case was still very heavy from water just sitting in it. As you can see, it did not hold up well to that.
As I said, I haven't played in years. But, that trumpet does have a soft spot in my heart. My dad bought it for me, back in the day, when it became apparent that I was a more than decent high-school trumpet player. Everyone else was getting a Bach; I got a silver Getzen; not only was it unique, but it was the same kind Doc Severinsen of the Tonight Show played. And when I showed up in school with it, it got a lot of "oooooos" and "ahhhs". (I've done some research over the weekend; it was (and is) a very good horn and I'm sure my dad spent a pretty penny on it, back in the day.)
But what really bugs me is that it just sat, in a wet case, for years. No care or consideration for it, at all. I mean, it's clear that it was never even opened after it got wet; it just sat in a soggy case. And in the meantime, I stored all of her stuff safely, in secure, water-proof bins, and I delivered those bins of pristine condition. Meanwhile, I get this. (There was another bin of computer programs and paperwork, also destroyed by water. All trashed now.)
Fortunately, a local music store specializes in instrument clean-up and restoration. I took the trumpet there today and the young woman in charge of fixing instruments assured me the horn was salvageable. It'll take some work, and about $350, but it's worth it to me. First of all, my dad got this for me, so there's a sentimental value to it. And, once I'm gone, someone can get something for the trumpet, because, in good shape, it's worth a lot more than $350.
But I'll never understand why people can't take care of things entrusted to them.
