What would have been better, telling Hans that his generosity of time and energy saved the performance, or the truth? Either way, he should have been thanked profusely, and some token gesture for his efforts should have been offered, if those in fact were not done.

Forgive and forget. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Howard Sanner Sent: Monday, February 19, 2007 2:46 PM To: horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Re: Experience - horn related Hmm. I'd be annoyed, too, had I gone to that trouble for naught. However, it seems to me that what you're upset about is her honesty that they managed to find the part. IMHO, honesty, like good manners, is always appropriate and never goes out of fashion. Surely we have all done bone headed things, whether or not horn- or music-related at one time or another. I, for example, started playing the French horn once upon a time.
