It's hard to know without being there. |
Of course, Joe you are right.
I'm assuming, with no 1st hand contact with Carl, that what he had to say on the bulletin board he moderates always has a pedagogical reason behind it.
That's why I said, "it caught my eye."
Since my CV reads: Old Fart in Wyoming who likes the trumpet
and part of his would probably read, and I'm guessing because I just nicked it from his signature,
Karl Sievers, DMA. Professor, School of Music, University of Oklahoma; Principal Trumpet, Oklahoma City Philharmonic; Bach Artist/Clinician; General Manager, National Trumpet Competition
I take a hankering to what those sorts report about their 1st hand encounters with those who occupy prestigous positions in the trumpet world.
Not unlike I do when I read your posts Joe.
My quibble was with you using "hearsay" when it wasn't. As far as Phil being misunderstood or Carl taking his comment out of context to prop up a hobby horse (DISCLAIMER: the hobby horse is imaginary and I'm using the phrase to make a point) all you say is indisputible. All that
could be true. I rather think not though. I did very much like the line about the "alto clarinet" especially. I thought that part was funny.
