8) Couldn't resist. 8)

Is this a piece for Charlie to show off his frightening valve technique? Whenever he plays Clarke Studies in his studio, the entire floor goes silent. One of the most intimidating warmups I've ever heard.

Playing in the quintet was one thing that kept me partially sane during the last five years . . . I was ready to chuck my job just to get out of marching hell.

Ahhhh!!!!! Where is my therapist?!

In my current gig, the band does performances for purposes other than recruiting or fundraising. Can you believe it--music for the sake of art?!

Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Should I play the Boehme's "baritone" part on my Willson UFO, or on my F tuba?

Strongly suggest the F tuba for this*; allows for the delicacy where needed, but also enough fullness of sound to support as the bass voice when the composition requires it.

[*Even though the part looks like a euph part.]

Which version are you playing (R King or Sommerhalder)? I far prefer the 1990 Sommerhalder to the King, FWIW.
