35 hours a week?!!!!!   Oh well, you were lucky then!  Why when I was your age 
we had our first rehearsal of the day at 3 in the morning, 1 hour before we 
went to bed the night before.  Oh we'd have cried for joy to only have 35 hours 
of playing in one day!  We had to play continuously, all the rests removed, 
only a sip of water and a crust of bread for lunch,  and every afternoon, the 
conductor would kill us and then dance on our graves singing Alleluia!  But you 
try to tell young horn players that, and they won't believe you.
