that long kirk post is like the DJs who do that thing twitching the records backwards. it's the same material only rearranged to someone's internal rhythm.
for some reason in all its glory and length it's the funniest thing i've seen in a long time.

Not just funny. Find the code within and all things will become clear. Secrets of the Freemasons, Illuminati, alchemy, the recipe for whatever that stuff is they put on Big Macs... All in there. Kirk's got every bit of it, if only you can crack the code. Try every seventh letter. _________________ Ahh... that old case smell. |

For what its worth; I played my Taylor Chicago Lite 46 professionally for seven years and didn't take out my Burbank Benge one time during that period. At one point I had made a (nearly) complete switch to Taylor, playing a Taylor C (yes, he made it, although I no longer see one on his web site) and a Taylor Phat Boy Flugel. The Phat Boy was the first to go; the sound was just too diffuse for me. Next went the C, mainly due to intonation problems. When I bought my Kanstul 1510 C, I got a big tinge of muscle memory that said, "Benge!" I pulled out that Burbank and rediscovered the sweet sound, the easy slotting, and the intonation that I had forgotten. I then took it one step further and pulled out my old Bach 1 1/4 C with a #10 back bore, and I feel like I am in heaven. This, by the way, is the set-up I played in 1969 when I bought that Benge brand-new for $330. The Taylor is prettier, but the Benge is sweeter. As to the Monette vs. Harrelson question, I don't personally know anyone who plays a Harrelson, but I do know people who have been Monette artists for quite a while, including one of his big names with a mouthpiece "designed for him" who have stopped playing those horns and returned to Bach, Schilke, etc. Please don't ask me why, as I don't know, and they aren't saying. |
