It's all about the music, dude! Sit down, relax and listen to some tunes.

Technicolor Dream Coat? How'd you like to play 10 months.....

on the road, 8 shows a week of Andrew Lloyd Webber's roller skating extravaganza "Starlight Express" with an all electric rhythm section (3 synthesizers, guit, bass, and yes, even ELECTRIC DRUMS). My chair was alto/baritone/flute/clarinet. I only knew sound was coming out of my flute or clarinet 'cause I felt vibration in my chops. I was the only horn player who (mistakenly) didn't wear ear plugs. Pitch was somewhere between A 400-500, befitting the musak. And this guy's rapping about symphonic musicians' emotional problems playing Mahler?!
