urrrrr..perhaps you all need to read my post again. I was actually complimentary of Hans, I just don't get why he needs to litter this board with his ubertestosterone? I would be lying saying he isn't a welcome addition to these boards, but no one is that good to talk down to an entire race of human beings not to mention fellow professionals.
Like the school yard bully, Hans needs to be kept in check every once in a while. He has been getting away with this for sometime. Unfortunately those who are hurt slink away from these boards unheard. A beginning student who is fascinated by the horn, doesn't need to hear his old school banter. Sometimes a simple "hello" and a "let me help you" will suffice. Farkas was not only a great horn player, but a great person! His fame never got in the way of helping those "less" gifted. We all know Hans is a God and will be pictured on German currency soon, but we don't need to hear about it daily, no matter what the original topic is. Thanks LT (and others less outspoken) _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
