Welcome to IWETHEY!

New So fsck you, bastard!
You try'n'a make us jealous?

'at's OK, I would too, and without mercy.

Not being the brains of the family is no embarrassement, 'cause, to be honest, brains is over-rated. It's how you relate to your significant other (and other others) that matters (at least to you (and I challenge you to find a measure that matters more)).

Supporting rolls? How about Lizette (alas, I was second choice to Tim, but that's another story (as is the adventures of Lizette's mother, Lilian, and Bob and Lou (and others)))? Some other time.

Lizette played recorder. You, know, those silly little wooden whistles some people imagine to have been important in early music (carefully ignoring the shawm an cornetto (because those are one and three orders of magnitude harder to play)).

Toot! tootely toooot toot.

Every early music (and some other music) graduate candidate pleaded for Lizette as accompanist for their disertation. So Lizette did a lot of supporting work.

Lizette, for whom a University invented a major in wooden whistle so they could graduate her.

Lizette, who could take a wooden whistle and make a first chair flute player sweat and doubt their career choice.

Lizette, the accompanist.

God, how I hate computers. How did I get tangled up in this technology crap. I need to get a life again, before it's too late.

New The cutest musician story I know . .
. . was told by a lady who was first chair bassoon player (for a first rank orchestra - but I forget which one).

"How was it that you took up bassoon?"

"I signed up for band because it was the least solid course I could get to fill out my schedule. When they assigned instruments, to this day, I swear what I heard the teacher say was "kazoo"."

New And the next cutest . .
My old friend Bob Barnes (raving queer (of the drunken "gay gormet" variety (until he joined the Hari Krishna (who probably added ten years to his life)))) returned to Oberlin College for masters classes (in viola da gamba).

He was attending one of the faculty concerts. A young lady was playing harpsichord on stage, and Bob was absolutely enthralled. He turned to the person next to him and said, "Isn't she fabulous?". That person replied, "Yes, I think so. I married her".

Ref: Oberlin faculty concerts, that era. You've heard the saying, "those who can't do, teach". Well, I heard the tapes. Those that "can do" can't play like that - never will. You will not hear anything like that on records or in the concert hall. Never.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?
New the recorder
when I was in elementary school, the recorder was a required instrument to learn. I was in a special class of 1 because I simply could not play the scale correctly. I didn't have the breath control or something to do it.

Prior to that my parents tried to get me to learn to play the accordian. The thing was bigger than I was. and my teacher smelled funny...
Have fun,
Carl Forde
New Early music reveries
I've got some remnants from an early music performer love as well -- a soprano and an alto recorder, some sheet music, and Ernst Mayr's book on evolution.
B was a wonderful recorder player; she also played the oboe and rebec and cornetto. When I was with her she performed with a wonderful group of folks I had the privilege to hang with and listen to. The hurdy-gurdy can be an awesome instrument in the right hands!
I took up the recorder to play duets with her, and after a few months could at least mess around profitably, but I never achieved any real mastery.
She ended up leaving me for another and we've not spoken in 18 years, but that reedy renaissance sound still always takes back to that small fun-loving group of talented musicians jamming to that renaissance sound.

New You got it! :-)
The only thing worse than a lucky bastard is one who knows how lucky he is! :-)

I thank everyone for the kind compliments which I have duly passed on to the bemusement of my wife. Now we have to sit back and wait for her to go through the interview process, then in March we get to find out what we do for the next 4 years...

Cheers,
Ben
