I guess there's just no replacement for Fedderly... literally!

[Ken Crawford]

... Now that no one was hired to play in the Baltimore Symphony, how many are going to blame their instruments, sell them, and buy something else?

Fedderly's old HB50 was at the audition...

I don't see why the orchestras don't just decide what kind of tuba they want, and buy it. Then they can hire someone as needed to play it.

If was I was professional musician that belonged to a union I'd insist on it.

Or find some rich old broad to buy one for me!!

Unless it was an incorrect post, I believe an individual has been invited to play a week with the orchestra (after the audition process), so the process is still fluid....

[bisontuba]

Huh? Orchestras sometimes invite a final finalist(s) to play with an Orch for a week to see how they fit in the section, etc.

You got the inside poop??

Welcome to The Land of Pleasant Living!!

So....

So you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skies from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.
Wish you were here.

"suspect" - have an idea or impression of the existence, presence, or truth of (something) without certain proof

Words mean things.

I thought you were being charming and coy!!

Pink Floyd's tribute to Syd Barrett.

I see Blopocalypse is still on.

Right when I think I’m starting to become pretty familiar with the opera rep, someone points out a new one.

The excerpt from that one is a killer...

Pink Floyd's tribute to Syd Barrett.

Indeed. So was "Shine On You Crazy Diamond," and the portrayal of Pink with his eyebrows shaved in The Wall, which is a reference to the one time Syd Barrett showed up at Abbey Road Studios, ironically during the final mix of "Shine On...," having shaved his hair and eyebrows, the last time most of the band saw him.
