I know; I was there (really, I'm not making this up). The Memphis Horn List was moved to Cairo because of security concerns and not enough horn water. While in Cairo we also learned that it is possible to play the horn in Egypt, at least in Cairo, but only before 10 am as by 10 the horn water diminishes in proportion as the butt water increases gradually rendering it impossible to remain sitting in the chair. This makes playing the horn very slippery! So if you call after 10 am Cairo time you are not likely to get an answer as all the horn players have left by then.

I'm curious. Just what ever happened to the FIRST Memphis Horn List? No, I don't mean the one in Memphis Tennessee these days, I mean the one in Ancient Egypt. I'm thinking that maybe after constantly getting scalded on the hands and lips, from holding Horns in 130ºF(55ºC) desert sunshine, they might have disbanded. (Hey, someone's got to play music to build pyramids by?!?) I keep sending E-Mails to the websites of Menes, Hatshepsut, Seti I, Djoser and other important rulers, but they never answer back. When I call their Free Phone Number, all I get is a Camel Washing place. Can anyone straighten this out for me?
