I know, I know...thats why my post was about the offense I took (not about my religion), and then I explained why. No religious discussion needed.TexTuba wrote:Just a tip: You might not want to mention religion. From what I remember, that is a BIG no-no with the moderator.

In this case, it isn't "Jesus" as in the Son of God. It is "Jesus" as in pronounced "Hay-Zues" son of Pedro.
I would think anyone down here named "Hey-soos" would go by their nickname, "Chewie"...I've known 2 that use that nickname, but they actually lived in Mehico...Doc wrote:I know TexTuba. Despite his lineage, he has a very British name - Ralph. Although Jesus (Haysoos) isn't a bad guess... you would have increased your chances of hitting the mark with something more popular like "Juan".
Right, Steve?

we need to focus on being versed in multiple styles, and not just focus upon a narrow band of (albeit phenomenal) music.
That is fine and all, but this post was just to inform about the season, not types of styles, we can make a topic about that later. I mean, if I wrote about apples, I am sure people around here would take it and twist it, then twist it some more, oh, and twist it some more, make it out to be a controversial issue, then say we all need to to think of ways how to eat the apple differently, and how applesauce is better than apples. Folks, its black and white, no grey in between, these are the highlights, come if you can, if you can't, too bad, you guys can certainly post about music you are playing, I wont tell you that you should think of playing other types of styles. I don't see why some of you are making this out to be some race for ego here, or, "he think he is better than us", I tell people to pull their heads out of you know where when they start to act like this. DONT make this out to be some thing about he/she thinks they are better than us because they go to this school, or, they are playing these certain pieces. I was excited to see the rep. I posted it, and then it went down the crapper. Look what's in front of you, there is no conspiracy against you folks.David Spies wrote:Well, fawning over orchestral season repertoire is fine, but look at what was on my plate this week...for pay:
-Circus marches at true circus tempo for a Multi-Billionaire's birthday party with nearly 1000 of his closest friends and acquaintances (Seriously, the guy must have spent nearly $2 million dollars on his 60th birthday party--I have photographic evidence as long as my 20th century FILM develops adequately)
-Mendelssohn Midsummer Night's Dream Overture
-Prokofiev Romeo and Juliet Suite No 2
-Cole Porter
-Klezmer music for a traditional music festival audience numbering over 2000
-Jazz (bebop, trad and swing)
-Concert Band music for independent living residents
Perhaps
Life is great, and we need to look at every chance to make beautiful music as an opportunity to grow as artists and human beings. Sharing our gifts with an audience is a privilege that we ought to cherish.
Take any opportunity to play music as an opportunity to expand your musical and technical horizons.
Remember: we're only on this earth a short time. Let's make the most of it!
