Why would I bring the Conn to *that* ensemble? You and Martin have the BAT end of the spectrum covered. If I bring anything other than the King it might be the Besson EEb. But, the Besson (in my hands) isn't quite ready for prime time, yet. As soon as we get through Carmina Burana on Sunday, the Besson becomes my "Christmas Tour" instrument (unless Russian Christmas Music shows up in one of my folders). Note to self: practice...

I have a collection of horns that are fun, interesting, and challenging to play in my basement...and then I have the horn I bring when I have a responsibility to other people in the ensemble. You get 1 guess as to what horn that is.

That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

My current plan *is* to bring the 36J to Ft. Myer. I don't feel particularly obligated to the participants in the Mass Reading Session.

1 BAT, 2 BAT....Red BAT, Blue BAT. BAT shmat....bring the horn.

To answer your question....I don't know if Greg would notice. What we SHOULD do is this. Have Martin bring his bell front Holton 345, you on the Eb helicon, have Dave bring a sousaphone from his school and I should borrow Newel's CC cimbasso. I think Greg would hear us then.

Don't feel bad. No less an authority than Mr. Cronkhite declined the opportunity to solve this problem.

Mr. Cronkhite is smart to decline to solve the problems of traffic signal operation in northern Dubai, but I can't resist.
