Welcome!

The situation in the other forum has gotten toxic.  I have had bad luck with the various forums I have been involved with.

There was a sci-fi thread I recently had to leave.  If one know anything about the 'puppy' movement you will know what I am talking about.

I am beginning to wonder if I have the temperament for this.

Hopefully third time will be the charm.

What's a "Bank Junkie arpeggio"?
This place is great. I just got suspended from the modern equivalent of the inquisition online, a religious forum that deems their opinions holier than the Pope's.
Musicians are also funny, don't take themselves so utterly seriously...

Welcome!  I thought I saw some dust from chords which had been hastily broken.

A band junkie is one who follows concert band music and is a fan of Vincent Persichetti, Percy Granger, Phillip Sparke and many, many others.  I play bassoon and contrabassoon with two community concert bands and I am an alternant in a third.

Ah, so just a typo (bank for band)!  (I used to work as a teller, so bank junkie struck me as . . . plausible    )

When I was at UVa a great friend of mine was in the bassoon section.

Hi arpeggio, and welcome. Bassoon and contrabassoon -- two beautiful instruments!

How very nice to see you've joined.

And a good and honest 'what it says on the tin' post, too.  You are indeed, a band/wind ensemble junkie, and I for one am glad of it :-)

So far, I've found nothing but engaging enjoyment here.  May you find the same -- and may that continue.


Always best regards.

Contrabassoon.....ah that intro from Ravel the left hand concerto: I feel the instrument is taking me back out of the kingdom of the dead.

This is one of my favorite moment of the entire classical repertoire...

Welcome and looking forward hearing more bassoon and contrabassoon stories.

Did you hear about the contrabassoonist who was so badly out of tune he noticed it.

Arpeggio, I'm really glad you're here

I've like, only just barely gotten somewhat involved in my first argument here, and you're actually allowed to respond to attacks without getting banned (lol). It's a nice place, really. No one is too persistent at ruining your fun just because you disagree regarding some composer or w/e.

[Karl Henning]

It would be a funny world if we all agreed all the time.
