I grew up in the city of Windsor, Ontario. I love that the article describes it as a hamlet. Since when did hamlets have populations in excess of 200,000?
I learned to play trombone when I had braces. I still have some scarring on the inside of my lips. The worst of it was when they were taken off, I had to re-learn how to play trombone all over again since the physical lack of braces changed the way my mouth fit with the mouthpiece.
