You shouldn't encourage us.

	If you're quoting Auden, you will probably enjoy February House, 
by Sherill Tippins. This is actually horn-related: One of the 
people who lived in February House wrote a staple of the horn 
repertoire, and another of the residents sang (but, AFAIK, never 
played ) it.

Hornlist - 
I must say, that although some people may find these kinds of 
anecdotes distracting and unneccessary, I find them really wonderful to 
read.  As a high school senior, I love to hear about the "old world" of 
music, recording, etc., as I find it very inspiring and amazing to 
learn about a musical and technological world that I will never get to 
experience.  Sometimes I glean bits of information that I find very 
helpful in my own playing, or I just pass such stories on to my 
section-mates, teacher, or family.  I hope to be able to contribute 
such stories in the (very distant) future.
Again, thanks for sharing these memories, stories, and thoughts.
Ben
