NO KING's-made Benge trumpets left UN-lacquered out in the shop before dinner Day
Yeah. I have a Eastlake-made (this was the last era after Chicago, Los Angeles, and Fullerton) Benge trumpet here that an old college schoolmate wanted re-lacquered before Easter, and I got it sprayed today. It was almost twilight (very end of the evening before night) by the time I was shooting lacquer on it, but there was just enough light to see... though I had to run back and forth from the barn's door to inside my well-lit shop to make sure there was no overspray left on it.
LOL.. As to the silly "mostly peaceful" nonsense, predictably, some people in Memphis ended up having to go to the hospital and then on to jail.
