Army Band Conference

[cornholio]

WOW !

I wish I could be a real-live tubenet sponsor so I could type a bunch of dirt and other sorts of **** about other people in the music business.

It is fairly apparent that you are pissed of at Dennis Bamber for not hiring you. I cannot imagine what sorts of crap you would be saying about him if he had actually hired you and then had been forced to eventually fire you for all of the shitty-assed overt gossiping and borderline slandering that you do.

[Roger Lewis]

There seems to be a lot of speculation about the Brasswind going on here - all of it based in incorrect information. People should back away a bit since they haven’t been here in a while and were not here when a lot of this occurred. There is no "law suit" as it was stated. Bill didn't get the job after Charlie left - it was after Mike left (I recommended him for the position); he didn't leave "a few weeks after Phyllis K"; and the situation with Music 123 is not anywhere near what is stated here. I think people from the outside looking in, who don't have reliable information, should tend to their own situations before stating as “factâ€

It's nice to see professional behavior.

It's nice to see professional behavior.

Yes. And it would be nice not to see gossip on Tubenet, whether or not it is factual. This is Tubenet, where we have fun and talk about stuff that ultimately isn't important, like whether the Sousaphone Artist Preservation Society is real, whether Paul Haugan is an apparition, and just who Bloke really is. You know, lacquer vs. silver stuff. Gossiping about who is suing whom and who was fired or who quit out of desperation has consequences, and those consequences are always bad for the individuals involved. Please, folks, don't gossip.

I thought all government horns were silver, or is that a thing of the past?

It's Kevlar now. Time to move into the 21st century.

Hi,
Anyone know if there will be anyone selling CD's there. Didn't Bernel usually go (I think they are out of business). It would be cool to see TAP there, I'm looking for some more German Brass CD's, dixie power trio and maybe some brass band stuff.
Just Curious,
see you folks there,
Bill Pritchard

[JHardisk]

I'll be flying out tomorow... playing Friday morning on the military recital.

Very excited! I used to attend this conference when I was in high school and undergrad... now I'm playing at it.

Playing Neal Corwell's Aboriginal Voices, for tuba and tape.

Hope to see you there!
