We should all wear name badges with our real and online names.

I plan to come in early Saturday morning and spend the day. Unfortunately work gets in the way during the week. I will have my Bill Bell rotary King with me for the reading session.

[Brassdad]

I'll be there bringing along the brassson...he's the tubist.

[king2ba]

Does anyone know if woodwind brasswind will be there?

Probably not....the person that was hired to do all the trade shows and whatnot quit last may, then their brass manager quit a few weeks later. So, unless Roger is going to get himself in a van and do the drive by his lonesome, I don't think you'll see anyone from South Bend.

[JayW]

Count me in... working of course. I will have my horn at the Dillon booth for anyone to come and try out, so please do.
Look forward to meeting some people.

[oldbandnerd]

Chiltern and I will be traveling together from Richmond on saturday . Just a couple of greenhorns going to oogle all the cool equipment and try to keep up in the reading session . Maybe I'll come home with a new mouthpice ......

The wife is loosening up on the purse strings ......

WWBW will be there with a bunch of horns and accessories. Stop on by. I'm flying solo on this one and looking forward to getting to see some old (and new ) friends.

See you there!

[king2ba]

I'm really wondering who was the brass manager that quit WWBW?
That got my curiousity up

Bill Gibson is the one that left. (The world couldn't get lucky enough for Joe to quit!) The brass manager was about to be me, but I had enough of WAB. A few weeks after I left, they gave it to Bill. The problem is that Bill isn't as good a "yes man" as is needed to work at WAB. He finally got smart and left a few weeks after Phyllis K.

I got all filled in at the FMEA.

Have you heard about the Zapfs taking Bamber to court? Wish I could be there to watch that one!

[CJ Krause]

who

[king2ba]

the Music 123 guys...when they bought into WAB...they were supposed to take control then DB backed out at the last minute and fired them! They didn't like that! Now it's gonna bite DB in the butt!

Also, heard about the new warehouse? DB did it again. Didn't let the guys do a good inventory and now even more stuff is lost! Plus, from what I hear, the retail guys have to have things brought over from the new warehouse. So customers have to wait forever to have crap that isn't on the floor brought out to them! Gotta love it!

[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€

[Steve Inman]

There seems to be a lot of speculation

It's nice to see professional behavior.

Cheers,

[Rick Denney]

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.
