Slightly askew from the subject, but there's the old story that you probably all know, about Aubrey Brain taking a taxi to the Queen's Hall in London.
The taxi driver saw the horn case and asked if he played in a band. No, he played for an orchestra. "Which one". "I'm first horn with The London" (can't remember which) "Oh, yeah, playing anything good?" Impatiently, Aubrey replied, "Dvorak New World Symphony". As he left the taxi and started to walk away, the taxi driver shouted after him, "Best of luck with the top B in the last movement!".
