RE: [Hornlist] Re: Appalachian Americans
If you refer to Kopprasch is German for "White Trash", you should spell it right as "Cop Rush" and if Your mother thinks Kopprasch is your boyfriend's, you should spell the name as "Co Prasch" - perhaps. == -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, April 23, 2006 6:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; horn@music.memphis.edu Subject: [Hornlist] Re: Appalachian Americans Now, Ray and others have been making references to their familiar cousinries, so I am now thinking a reprising of this is in the orderings: YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK HORN PLAYER IF...

Your horn teacher's name is "Bubba." You have a 1956 Pan American single F that has valves that work and 14 old Elkhart Conn 8D's with valves that don't. You have slide grease under your toenails. You regularly answer the question "what have you been doing lately?" with "trying to learn how to count more than 10 bars rest." Your mother gets in fistfights at your high school band concerts. You have a Conn 8D or Holton 179 bell for a hood ornament instead of a Mack Truck bulldog or Harley Davidson eagle. You think an IHS Workshop is a good place to meet women/men. You have completely taken apart your horn and greased and oiled it on your living room floor rug and not put down a newspaper or drop cloth. Your horn case is full of empty beer cans. You think Kopprasch is German for "White Trash." You don't understand why there's no Kruspes between the Cheetos and the Beer Nuts at the grocery store. You use a styrofoam cooler for a gig bag. You call your horn teacher "Dude." You yell "Give the drummer some!" at symphony concerts. Your horn is an old, beat up Olds Ambassador, Conn 6D or Reynolds Pottag model held together with chicken wire and duct tape. You think Mason Jones played pedal steel with Reba MacIntyre. You use a beer bottle for a mute. You think "Schmidt" is what your dog does in the backyard. You think Dennis Brain won at Daytona in '57. You think a "leadpipe" is part of a male's anatomy.

Your neighbors make you leave the trailer park when you want to practice. You think Gallay is that wine in those big gallon jugs at the liquor store. Someone asks you what kind of horn you own and you reply "French." You paid less for your pickup truck than you did for your horn. You think Maxime-Alphonse is an exotic dancer down at "The Gentlemen's Club." You have 10 dogs all named "Till." You think Jimmy Chambers was the drummer in the band on "HeeHaw." Your mom's been cooking with valve oil ever since she ran out of Crisco. You have ever been blacklisted from a music store. You think "Siegfried" is half of a Vegas act. You think heaven looks a lot like the Conn factory. You warm up using the theme from "Dallas." Your mouthpiece is reduced 10 drill sizes by the built up crud in it. You have an STP sticker on your mute. You think Verne Reynolds was the star of "Deliverance" and "Smokey and the Bandit." You can play a high C with a toothpick in your mouth. You have ever worn a tank top to a gig. You think Phil Farkas played center for the Razorbacks. The horn list limits you to one post a day. You use a color coordinated clothes line to keep your horn case shut. The other students at all-state tryouts call you "Porky." You bring your dog with you to gigs. You refer to your colleagues in the horn section as "my buds.

Re: [Hornlist] Re: Appalachian Americans
It's nice to have my profile finally given credit on this list, but you missed my flat-top, brush cut hairdo, bag of deep-fried pork rinds in my horn case, and pencil clip fashioned from a '66 Chevy pickup radiator hose clamp. I'm still waiting for the IHS "Official" line of softball clothes, including ball caps, straw cowboy hats, Kruspe-style belt buckles and wallets complete with anti-theft chains... Best regards, (L.O.L!) Martin Bender P.S. Nothing beats a radiator cap for a stopping mute when you forgot yours back at the trailer park.
