I didn't try that. While my folks thought I was asleep, I was listening to my local baseball team (NOT the Yankees) managed by Casey Stengel, Billy Martin at...
I would guess you were in Oakland, CA or Berkley, CA. According to that reliable source Wikipedia, they signed Billy Martin to play for them in the Pacific...
Very interesting idea. I certainly would like to have a laquer coating on my horn that never peels off or tarnishes. I've looked into it, and there are many...
Yep, though I would consider Wikipedia cheating. The Oakland Acorns were a Yankee farm team. To return to the subject, I had a King version of the Kruspe with...
Hey, at my age I'll use all of the tools at my disposal. I find that as I get older I seem to remember less and less. A cognitive scientist of my acquaintance...
... see if they have a recording they'd be willing to send you. If anyone has performed this piece and has a recording they would be willing to share,...
I'm enjoying this discussion. All of the sudden, I'm not feeling like everyone's grandfather. Students today are toddlers by comparison. Does anyone who voted...
Dear Boxer, I must have been a baby in the days of FDR. The first president I remember was Dwight D. Eisenhower. My high school band was invited to play for...
Speaking as a comparative youngster who is obviously a touch too young to have heard these when they originally aired, I would like to say how wonderful it was...
When I win the lottery I will buy a radio station and pay live actors, writers, and musicians to recreate some really good serial radio programs like in the...
Heh. When I was a kid, WGN in Chicago had its own orchestra (until disbanded somewhere around 1960; I think Frank Brouk was its last principal) and also...

Our local public radio station just did a recreation of the "War of the Worlds" this past Thursday. I was doing my community service as a volunteer for the...
I don't know why some of the radio moguls haven't caught this idea. Instead of hour upon hour of rock music, put in an hour of mystery drama with live actors. ...
Nancy: Would be an interesting concept. I'm presuming, for the most part, that you are referring to the FM broadcast stations. I fear AM is something of a...

... you are ... Or XM. Satellite radio, which depend on diversity instead of advertisers, might be just the place for it. Having said that, wasn't there a...
As is happens, XM does have a channel devoted to new radio dramas, Channel 163 (Sonic Theater). It also has Channel Channel 164 with classic radio shows -...
I've finally bought myself a better quality student instrument. (It was the right price for me. Someday, I hope to upgrade.) I have an old, Carl Fisher...
I read in the horn book (the highly recommended one??? It is upstairs.) that often notes written in the bass clef are written a 4th below the actual pitch....
I've go a "new to me" horn that came with a mouthpiece. I cleaned it up, tried it and the "old" mouthpiece. I've decided I like the old one better. I've...
Okay, got the music. It is actually the end of the solo for "O Thou that Tellest Good Tidings". The first horn part says low "e" one ledger line below the...
I have played on a single for 16 years and now have my very first double. I am playing in Handel's Messiah with the community orchestra. There are several...
Wendell Rider, author of "Real World Horn Playing" is coming to Ted Brown Music in Tacoma, November 14th. Here's the schedule: 2:00 - 5:30 PM Private lessons...
... You've run into something called "old notation", which was used in almost all music pre-20th century, and some into the 20th century. Notes in the bass...
Kerry: Not to quibble, but Mozart's "arrangement" of Messiah dates from less than 50 years after Handel composed it. Also, horns <may> have been used by...

... Conn 2 is a good mouthpiece. Some say it was designed by one of the master builders of the modern horn, Carl Geyer. There is no "right" mouthpiece. There...
... I'd use both sides. The Bb side will help you be more accurate on the high notes. As a general guideline, play 2nd line G and below on the F horn, and...
... 50 years ... D'oh! Of course, you're right. The Messiah was written in 1741, and Mozart died in 1791. I just can't do math. ... Very true. Baroque...
... This is certainly what I was taught. Though I no longer--as I was also taught--believe it's a sin to change elsewhere (including higher!), it's still what...
... less than ... Mozart ... It may well be Prout's edition if it includes horns. It used to be the most commonly-performed by amateurs, but I'm dating myself...
