Hornlisters:
This is not a paid advertisement, just a personal plug. My membership
renewal for the IHS came up this month and as I wrote the check, I thought
about why I've been a member all these years---and why I will continue to be
a member. I joined soon after the group was founded. At the time, it was a
real catalyst in bringing hornplayers together as a band of brothers and
sisters, a way of networking, if you will, to help beginners, amateurs, and
professionals in sharing the challenges and exciting experience of playing
the horn. At first, the publications were small and somewhat amateurish and
the membership small, too. Nevertheless, the basic collegiality of
hornplayers (as opposed to, say, violinists) really helped the IHS to grow
to the point that the annual international symposium is a major event
attracting horn players from all over the world.
If I'm not mistaken, this internet horn list was also originally initiated
by the IHS as a means to further enhance communication among horn players. I
think you'll all agree that it is a lively and remarkably informative forum
of ideas.
So, if you're on this list but not a member, seriously consider becoming a
member of the IHS. You'll get an annual membership directory, which is very
helpful in locating other hornists wherever you go around the world, and
three issues a year of the greatly expanded and quite professionally
designed and produced journal, The Horn Call. The journal is chock full of
interesting articles, reviews, and updates, some by names familiar on this
list.

End of plug.
