[Hornlist] Cabbage on the Road - Southern California

2008-04-28 Thread HornCabbage
Professor Cabbage will once again take his show on the road,
sharing with the general populace his expertise on the 
physics of brass musical instruments.   The talk is at
4PM Friday, May 2.   The place is the Department
of Physics at Cal Poly Pomona.   There are a couple of
effective ways to miss this talk.   The first would be to appear
at the wrong time, say next Fall.   The second would be to show up 
at the Physics Department at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo instead.
Various combinations of these two methods should also prove
worthwhile.

Those who find it impossible to miss the talk will be relieved 
to learn that the Professor has agreed not to perform
any musical selections on natural horn.   Whether he will
also agree not to perform any unmusical selections is 
somewhat uncertain.

Gotta go,

2008-02-17 Thread HornCabbage
The peripatetic Professor took his road show to a local
middle school last week, where he gave six sessions on
the physics of brass instruments to all the science
classes.   He performed the first movement of
Beethoven's Sontata Op. 17 on natural horn; it
is possible that this was not the most fascinating
choice of selections for this group.   But they seemed
particularly keen to learn why I kept twirling my horn 
during the rests.   To get rid of the condensation, I asserted. 
Ehew, gross.   But what if you didn't, they
wondered.   So I poured some water down the leadpipe
to let them know why.   Driven mad by scientific curiosity, one
of them wanted to know what would happen if I 
poured the water into the bell instead.   So I emptied
a bottle of water into the bell, and invited him to put his
ear close by so that he could hear the difference.   The
ensuing geyser was considered highly satisfactory by
all who witnessed it.   Another student wanted to know
what it was like playing with my mustache.   I told her that
I really enjoyed playing with my mustache.   It was only
late that I realized that she wanted to know what it was
like playing horn while sporting a mustache.   Alas, she will
never know.

Those who wish to avoid future road show appearances
(in which I play with my mustache on my Paxman Cor d'Orchestra, 
which has a Geyser wrap), should stay away from Stanford this 
Wednesday and the Naval Postgraduate school (in Monterrey, CA) 
next Friday.

Hornlisters living in the SF Bay area have an opportunity
to miss two events of cruciferous significance.

The first event is the premier of the Professor's 
latest composition, Death's Jest-Book Overture, commissioned 
by the Mission Chamber Orchestra.   This will be 
performed in San Jose on Nov. 3, St Hubert's Day, 
just a day after Dia de los Muertos. For more details, avoid:

To learn more about St. Hubert, visit

Once you have missed the Overture, you will
enjoy staying home while Prof. Cabbage takes 
his act on the road.   In this case, the road is HWY 17 from
San Jose to Santa Cruz.   He will visit the
physics dept of UC Santa Cruz at 4PM Thursday,

The Hunterdon Hills Playhouse is conveniently located three miles west of
Clinton, New Jersey, just off Interstate 78.

This brings to mind that Cat Stevens song, Miles From Nowhere.  No offense
intended to anyone who lives around there - it's lovely country which I
drive through on a semi-regular basis, although just off an interestate
