Thanks, Adam, for the reference. In reading the piece I found myself
wanting to blurt "Stop musing and start playing!" Also, the author didn't
say much about what one does if a basset hornist is nowhere to be found but
a violinst is!

Anyway, can anyone here comment on what was done to some of Cole Porter's
songs in "De-lovely"? I saw the DVD the other night and although I've
never been much of a fan of Porter's songs, it seems to me that some of the
arrangements created in the movie were a bit of a stretch from how I
remember them. Sorry I can't be more specific. Comments, anyone?

Oliver
