It seems that 2-letter abbreviations work for state and country abbreviations, 3-letter abbreviations are sufficient worldwide for baggage claim tickets, but orchestras need 4-letter abbreviations. That is why my orchestra is abbreviated SASO (Southern Arizona Symphony Orchestra). You might think "symphony" and "orchestra" are redundant words but it makes our abbreviation necessary and unique.

Then it would be even more confusion. When I moved back to Dallas in the mid 1980s the Mayor and City Council were touting Dallas as a "world class city." Finally, one cynic among the city council members said, "do you know when you are a world class city? When you quit claiming you are one." -----Original Message----- From: horn-bounces+bgross=airmail....@music.memphis.edu [mailto:horn-bounces+bgross=airmail....@music.memphis.edu] On Behalf Of lewho...@yahoo.com Sent: Friday, April 17, 2009 9:54 PM To: The Horn List Subject: Re: [Hornlist] Rare horn piece to be performed Bill, Not to start a pissing contest, but here in Michigan we think of the DSO as the nearly 100 year old World class Detroit Symphony Orchestra.

A number of years ago Karl Pituch gave tickets to "lurking" list member Bob Losin. He shared with me and John Kowalchuk. It was a very good performance.

It was done, rather well IMHO, by the DSO last spring.
