I'm sure this topic has been hacked up before, but does anyone have any quick recommendations for a gig bag to take on an airplane? A buddy of mine leaves in less than two weeks. I'm trying to convince him that the Holton cut bell case fits in the overhead. At least mine did when I traveled

IMHO, I think that, instead of sending money to NPR and PBS, folks should be sending some cash to their local concert band if they'd like to support local concert bands. Otherwise, it'd be like sending money to NPR to help the folks in New Orleans after Katrina because that's where I get my n

If you call up mcmastercarr.com you will be using the same hardware store Wiley Coyote uses in the Road Runner cartoons. They have a provision where you can create an order over time of any hardware you need. The stuff arrives UPS the next day, and postage is far cheaper than gas. For horn b

Anything worthwhile in the arts requires funding from somewhere. Unfortunately, politics plays a big role. The big payoff always ends up in the hands of those who spend all their time collecting money rather than those doing good art. Within a short time, the steady funding gets allocated to 'a

It's worth noting that many low-dose steroids can take more than a few days to reach peak effectiveness. They're really designed to be used long-term and might take a few weeks or even longer to really reach their peak. I am not familiar with the product you mention, Martin, but I have used Flona

I've experienced good results with Rhinalar (or it's generic version). The only downside, is that it takes about 3 days to reach peak effectiveness. But it works very well. I also try and stay well hydrated too. Best regards, Martin Bender On 26-Jun-06, at 10:37 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Th
