And you rehearsed in "a hole in the ground covered by a sheet of tarpaulin," right? Or was it a shoebox in the middle of the road? Either way, I bet they sat you right in front of the timpani.

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. > > - Steve Mumford > ################### > Hans wrote: <snip> > > or if one plays 35 > hours a week or more for > twenty, thirty or 40 > or 50 years. > _______________________________________________ > post: [email protected] > unsubscribe or set options at > https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/whefoss%40gma > il.com > _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/bgross%40airmail.ne t _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
