 Re: Playing wind in your 90's

Gosh and gee whiz, Henry, I'm having to "pause before opening mouth" [have heard its always a good idee] . At this time, I'm resting-up from last evening's gig 50 miles away , temps in the 90's, humid, a real "sweater". I believe I played better at our band's Thurs eve rehearsal, no gentle breeze nor sun in my eyes, then! I did, tho, notice some less-than-perfect sounds from some of our "best". IMVHO, age DOES take its toll, however, re: seeing, hearing, also in stamina and patience!! I have begun suggesting to some of our cl'ists, that they renew acquaintance with the bass cl, to the point of loaning/giving?? a horn and a bit of "suggestion", I'm NOT a teacher, tho! My plan then is to retreat to my alto cl, and not be heard [much] on those beautiful "bottom-of-the-chord" notes, when, at times, I feel I'm suggesting to the tubas how to play it!! One of our better Fr Hornists, sitting in front of me, did compliment me on tone quality [not technique, tho], likely due to a good crystal mp and good,soft reed! Mark, since self-promotion is a SIN, PLEASE delete some or all of this wordy [garr---, I must look it up] ?missive? . Still FUN, Don

Thanx, Mark, Don
