    Sarasota, FL

    Their orchestra has a trombone position open. I think I'll send hem a resume.

    Of course, the Los Angeles Phil also has a job opening, so I think I'm going to see if they'll let me come play at them too.

    Heh. Getting an audition is easy. Winning one, now that's hard. I am currently 0 for 10. But I was a finalist in Oregon, so maybe I'll get taken slightly more seriously at these.

    We had an opening for a trombone player in our plumbing department, but we just filled it. Sorry.

    If you ever became a Maestro, would you demand to be called Maestro?

    If you can pick up the violin, bass or 'horn' (they don't specify what kind on the website ) in the next few weeks, the Topeka Symphony is looking for people.

    They mean French horn. uppity musicians get in the "it's not really from France so don't call it French!" arguments. You know, like Star Trek geeks get all mad if you call it a laser gun.

    Re: Sarasota, FL

    What about people that play the English Horn... do they call it English? If not, do the French and English horn players ever confuse themselves for one another?

    Nah, English horn is like an overgrown oboe. Although I don't know that there's anything particularly English about that one either.

    Edit: according to wikipedia English horn is a translation of the French term cor anglais (english horn) but they think that term is just a misspelling or mispronuncation of cor angle (bent horn). So wikipedia thinks it's called English because the French can't even spell their own damn language correctly.

    A Bass Trombone also has absolutely NOTHING to do with fish, btw.

    I've been playing the stinkhorn like a champion since I got back from lunch.

    My woman is from Sarasota. We just went down for a little vacation in May. Great town. Terrific town. If you're going to live in Florida it's one of the few places that make sense.

    Also, we had dinner at a restaurant and Dick Vitale sat next to us. He lives there.

    Good reason to never go to Sarasota.

    Good. I was underwhelmed by Jacksonville when I went to audition there. Speaking of, that position (that I just auditioned for in April) is open again. I may see if they'll give me another shot this time around.
