Talk:windjamming

RFV discussion: November 2014
Rfv-sense

I added this sense, but I wonder if it's "dictionary only" because I can't find actual usages, so I'm inclined to delete it unless someone else can verify that the word is actually used with this meaning.  D b f  i  r  s   08:56, 13 November 2014 (UTC)


 * One citation:
 * The circus band was elevated from strong-lipped windjamming to artistic renditions of classical overtures and standard selections
 * However, it looks like in the musical sense, it's usually written hyphenated. It also specifically seems to mean "playing a wind instrument badly" (possibly, it even refers to a specific fault that wind players make):
 * When he plays you hear no whistling and wind-jamming, none of the little mannerisms that ordinarily make flute-playing a trifle unpleasant.
 * Where Buescher True-Tone Instruments predominated there was a noticeable absence of that blatant wind-jamming that often makes the brasses sound a trifle unpleasant when amateurs play
 * This includes two French horns - played by troupers who are good - but the rest are all melophone or rain-catchers (bell ups) of the old style, and when they put on a wind-jamming contest you can bet the barking irons are there.

 * Thanks. (I obviously wasn't using the best search request in Google.) I'll leave the sense in the entry and remove the rfv.
 * ... waiting until Thursday 20th in case anyone else wishes to comment here ...   D b f  i  r  s   16:39, 14 November 2014 (UTC)
