Gee, I don't know if becoming a good hornist is worth all that is expected of me:... __________________________________ Is this a cry for help, Valerie? The hornlist does need a referee to call timeout for piling on too roughly. Oh, this hygiene stuff... right up a nurse's alley, huh? But, you could have stayed at work if you wanted more of this, right? Brings back memories of the lead hornist in the local community band who has a plastic bottle of Coke sitting next to her chair, and takes a swig every 15 minutes. Yes, her valves (on her horn, that is) sound terrible, but she is a great horn player. Several months ago, someone posted on the list an old practice of "seasoning" a new horn by pouring milk through it. Ugh! Terrible image. Sorry to put that image (and smell) out there. Remember, horn dental hygiene includes flossing and use of the tongue cleaner (on you, not on your horn). Whether it's okay to drink the milk and play horn, I don't know. Probably, you shouldn't drink the milk after your pour it through your horn, would be my guess. Now go have a good day. Larry __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
