Thanks for the link, Dave. http://swampland.blogs.time.com/2010/10/05/which-military-jobs-are-most-prone-to-suicide/ Very interesting. I have a friend who studied flute & percussion in college in the late 1970s early 1980s, but decided to take up the horn about 12 years ago. My friend's close relative had been a professional horn player, at the peek of his career, when he suddenly and w/o any obvious reasons, stopped playing horn, gave up his position and opened a full time piano studio. My friend has remarked over & over since studying the horn that "horn players are crazy!" meaning that we are an emotionally intense bunch. This article, although it lacks sufficient numbers to be statistically relavent, does lend credibility to my friend's opinion about horn players. ;o) Valerie Wells The Balanced Embouchure Method http://bebabe.wordpress.com/ http://www.beforhorn.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/kicklighgter%40yahoo.com _______________________________________________ post: [email protected] unsubscribe or set options at https://pegasus.memphis.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
