RE: [Hornlist] A GOOD START!!!
Dear Prof. I. M. I shared your note "A GOOD START" with a good friend who is employed by the US Government. He job requires him to work extensively with government agencies in Europe mainly focused on former Soviet Satellites although he does work with Western European governments as well. I forwarded it to him last Friday and his response to me was, (to paraphrase) "Yes, that's what I run into all the time dealing with folks over there." I then had to send him another note asking him to look at the date to which he replied "{Oh. Well, it is STILL quite believable!" -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 9:32 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] A GOOD START!!! >From the International Musician, the monthly newspaper of the AFofM: French Police Arrest German Conductor at Concert German conductor Volker Hartung was about to pick up his baton for an encore when French police, waiting outside Strasbourg's Palais de la Musique, arrested him.

Hey, isn't it time to hear from that great horn player Sidd Finch? I bet the Mets would like to hear from him as well. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, April 01, 2005 9:32 AM To: horn@music.memphis.edu; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] A GOOD START!!! >From the International Musician, the monthly newspaper of the AFofM: French Police Arrest German Conductor at Concert German conductor Volker Hartung was about to pick up his baton for an encore when French police, waiting outside Strasbourg's Palais de la Musique, arrested him.
