Hans: Your apparent quote of President Bush, followed by a comparative reference to Nazi Germany is truly revolting ! And truly inappropriate for this list.
I remain interested in your horn and general music comments ....but respectfully urge you to cease these ugly personal comments about world affairs, especially the United States. Those of use who teach the horn and /or music and who also are fulltime paid professional horn players should not violate our positions of influence and trust in the music arenas where we have earned respect. One of the reasons many professionals have stopped participating in this hornlist is because of the many outbreaks of nasty comments, seldom related to real horn issues. It is not an issue about freedom of speech. It is very simply a matter of misusing a music forum to vent personal, unsolicited and biased political viewpoints Sincerely, John David Smith, DMA Principal Horn Florida Philharmonic Orchestra _______________________________________________ post: [EMAIL PROTECTED] set your options at http://music.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
