I would like to take this opportunity to remember another fine horn player-my friend Ned Treuenfels who lived in Los Angeles. Ned was also an 'overworked' hornist; doing studios from one end of L.A. to another-sometimes 3 or 4 gigs in one day.
He was driving on the freeway when he fell asleep and his car went underneath the back of a truck. He had just gotten married a short time before his death. His career was on the upswing although he wasn't yet an A or B lister for the movie gigs-he would have eventually ended up in those ranks. It is really tragic that musicians like Ned and a whole lot of other studio players have to spend their time and energy just getting between gigs in order to make ends meet. ------------------------------ message: 9 date: Sat, 1 Sep 2007 11:47:05 +0200 from: "hans" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> subject: [Hornlist] Anniversary Today is the 50th anniversary of Dennis Brains tragic death, <snip> At this point, Dennis Brain was heavy overworked & terribly tired. The extreme schedule had taken ist toll. _______________________________________________ post: horn@music.memphis.edu unsubscribe or set options at http://music2.memphis.edu/mailman/options/horn/archive%40jab.org
