W Scott is an unknown quantity at this point
Well, according to the soundtrack, on 'En Aranjuez Con Tu Amor' Paul Hughes played the solo. For the rest of the tracks, it was Maurice Murphy. My teenage daughter, who plays trumpet, quickly decided that Tara wasn't playing that horn. She said 'Dad, her lips aren't red! She's not playing that thing!'.. She says men horn players grow mustaches to hide what horn playing does to their lips!

Thanks for the horn info, Noel. I'd love to hold and play one of those old flugels. Why is it that no one is designing them that way any more? They look more comfortable than the modern flugels.

An Eb tenor horn? Hmmm, it's amazing to see a totally brass band with all of the many instruments. Here in America, good luck finding a community band with even half of those instruments in it. Usually it's a baritone or two, a tuba and maybe a Sousaphone. The bass parts are often carried by a basoon or a bass Sax.

Thanks for the info!

Bill
