Hi OldTimer,
Try this exercise out for size:
No equipment, reeds, instruments necessary other than a mirror, at first.
Start with the face totally relaxed.
Now, with your lips together, push your lips as far forwards as they can go, rather like a staged kiss.
Keeping your lips poking forward, pull the corners of your mouth as far down as they can go, tight against your teeth at the root of your lower canines, and HOLD this position as long as you can.
Keep poking your lips as far forward as you can, rather like Donald Duck.
Feel the strain? Does it feel familiar?
Repeat often. Well, at least until you get your muscle tone back.
Good luck!
J.
