Ah, ok. Well, that's different of course.  But I guess it puts you in the whole mastering an istrument situation, which can have some issues of it's own.

Ah, I'll say best of luck with the french horn then.

Thanks

Damn, we had fun!

Don't know who recorded this, but here's a taste of our concert. Maybe I'll take it down later when paranoia takes over from euphoria.

'our concert'

Are you in the vid?- if so which of the lovely lassies is you (not that it matters as whichever one it is the response is still going to be ) Its always the librarians.

Alas, I am hidden behind note racks and singers. But you can see my head pop up at 3:31 on 'the world is not enough'. Third from the left on the back row. Pink dress, black dress, me.



Might as well add "License to kill' and 'Skyfall' too, since I'm here tooting my own horn (rather literally). Not too shabby for a bunch of amateurs.

The backdrop and lighting is far beyond anything you'd see for a bunch of amateurs - I'm as impressed by that as much as the music.

BTW, had no idea you played cornet. Explains some things...

Light and sound crew are pros, I was naturally only concerned about myself.
We are one event among many this week. Its an annual thing, lots of concerts and events spread out over the week. Art, song, music, some in the hall we played in and others elsewhere. If we have our concert as part of this we get some free advertisement and sound and light is free.

It does? I'm afraid to ask what.
It has been mentioned once or tens before though.

You look like a woodwind player, but brass players have generally sharper tongues...

Yeah, tripple-tongue even!

I would expect no less from a Dark Planet Ambassador.

Ok, so I don't know if this works generally, but I loved it anyway.

This tibit about Asmodean from the Wheel of Time books struck me as kind of funny as a general descriptive comment about musicians.

"Not that he tells me anything. Wait. Be patient. Keep silent. Make accomodation with fate, whatever that means. He says that every time I try to ask a question. For the most part, all he wants to do is play music I've never heard before and make love."

Well.. I think he sings it better. Even if he forgets the lyrics.

This is mostly just ridiculous, but pretty cool too.  

We all have our nutty moments Blue !
I like the live version by that Robin chap, but there again I prefer 'live' over studio.....................sometimes.

Haha, yeah. I kind of feel like dancing.. which is rare for me..

Yeah, there's something special about someone with a properly great voice singing something too I tend to think.

That was both lovely, & sad

Oh, I'd say that's pretty much the perfect description of the song.

Just love those snow covered vistas in the video too.
