Ouch! That is one expensive Louisville Slugger. Unless, of course, it was a Linton plastic Bassoon, in which case that's all it was good for ;) -----Original Message----- From: Ehler, Kyle [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 1:08 PM To: 'Aschenberg, Mat'; 'Pettit, Ghery'; 'John Woodgate'; '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Revised EMC standards and CE Declarations.
I saw a kid use his bassoon like a Louisville Slugger once. The competition for first chair was vicious in the woodwind section... I played the cornet. A really old silver plated one. Funny thing was it always had a terrible hall-filling halitosis. -maybe that is why the conductor was always picking on me. I tried everything...listerine, toothpaste, WD-40, even PGA.. kyle -----Original Message----- From: Aschenberg, Mat [ mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 11:15 AM To: 'Pettit, Ghery'; 'John Woodgate'; '[email protected]' Subject: RE: Revised EMC standards and CE Declarations. I wonder how many of the engineers on here have been or currently musicians. I play clarinet and saxiphone. I figure the bastard that invented the saxaphone made it out of metal because they were always burning the bassoons. > -----Original Message----- > From: Pettit, Ghery [SMTP:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 9:34 AM > To: Pettit, Ghery; 'John Woodgate'; '[email protected]' > Subject: RE: Revised EMC standards and CE Declarations. > > > Oh, and as long as we're picking on instruments in the orchestra... > > Do you know the difference between a Violin and a Viola? > . > . > The Viola burns longer. ;) > > -----Original Message----- > From: Pettit, Ghery > Sent: Thursday, November 29, 2001 8:14 AM > To: 'John Woodgate'; [email protected] > Subject: RE: Revised EMC standards and CE Declarations. > > > John, > > That quote refers to the Oboe, not the Bassoon. > > Ghery > former Bassoonist ;) > > -----Original Message----- > From: John Woodgate [ mailto:[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> ] > Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 12:15 PM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: Revised EMC standards and CE Declarations. > > > > I read in !emc-pstc that Pettit, Ghery <[email protected]> wrote > (in <D9223EB959A5D511A98F00508B68C20C0226B685@ORSMSX108>) about 'Revised > EMC standards and CE Declarations.', on Wed, 28 Nov 2001: > >Hey, John.
