Hi All!
The A.I.R. Horns official website has been updated and now includes photos from 2005, testimonials from participants including college students, adult amateurs, and university professors, as well as a copy of the 2005 schedule. Additional updates include photos dating back to 2002, an overview of past guest artists, and a brief history of A.I.R. Horns.
Details for A.I.R. Horns 2006 have been added, too! I’m very happy to announce that the featured guest artist next year will be Gail Williams!

> Just to let you know that Ifor James passed away
The best Ifor James story I know concerns his attendance at a large brass symposium as
part of the Phillip Jones Brass quartet. After the PJBQ had played, one of the other
attending brass quartets gave a series of master classes, the grandest of all being a
lecture given by the tuba player concerning the proper choice of instruments as determined
by dental patterns. The tuba guy talked at length about the different dental "types," and
had a rather large table covered with plaster molds of every conceivable type of overbite,
underbite, and any other dental anomaly you could imagine. Of course, based on one's
"pattern," this tuba player could predict--with unerring success--the proper instrument to
play, and could also soothsay as to whether you would ever achieve any resemblance of
success on the one you'd already chosen.
Following the big lecture, Ifor James was seen at the table, looking over all the molds,
charts, statistics and handouts of scholarly discourse concerning proper instrument
choice. After a long, perplexing perusal of the "facts," Ifor turned to the person beside
him, reached into his mouth, pulled out his false teeth and asked,
"Do you fink I should giff it up?"
I'm glad to have known him, if only through his recordings... and this story.
