Re: 'orks'
When I was in HS, we had a combo(trumpet, guitar, bass and drums) Our trumpet player's father had a bunch of these books. (he was a tuba player) He told us the name was short for Combo (W)orks or Combo Ork(ch)estrations. We didn't much care what it meant. They were free. (As long as his son was in charge and he was our business mgr.) Anyway...just my .

Re: 'orks'
Thanks, guys. I thought that was what 'orks' meant but somehow figured was too simple and logical.

Re: 'orks'
How the *$%#&^ did you find that? Don't you have a slide to align or a dent to fix?
I am fortunate to have a great job that feeds my family well, but music feeds my soul.

Re: 'orks'
I was never in the military so I don't follow instructions worth a crap. Just ask my wife, my daughter or my doctor. I could add conductor but nobody else follows them either.
