Well, we just had it. My eyes are bleary from reading several (I mean many)
horn list digests dominated by the subject of tympani and horns. Can any of
you think of a past "horn list food fight" that has gone on as long as this
one? Not only were insults flying, but there were testimonies of horns flying
off faces. We had diversions on a term used for human physiology, with authors
unsure whether they should apologize or whether they should name their next
newborn with the special word. Monday's episode couldn't have been nearly as
supremely authenticated or consummated without our beloved Godfather of the
List, Professor Pizka, who has always been in these prior episodes. Although
he is retired from a distinguished career of excellent horn playing, many of us
are glad to see that he hasn't lost any deft touch of being in the middle of
these episodes. It is also fitting that Valerie was the "trigger" for this
latest episode; being on the
list only three years, she has been the most controversial new member with her
message about "balanced lips" that has apparently unbalanced the emotional
equilibrium of many of our traditional pedagogical types.
Well, it's a happy day to read that so many of our members are still with us in
a most robust way.
Regards,
Larry (who is NOT writing about his tympani experiences)
