[solarte1969]

My name is Robert Paulson.

[magnus]

I'm also a Chris
I'm 26
I'm an engineer who's currently laid off
I've been married 4 months
It's been 2.5 years since I made a red cent off music, and 5 years since I've made an honest dime off football. I never want to have to hustle like a drug dealer to make my living, but I really miss being that sort of hungry, where success was directly defined by how the ball bounced and my effort/talent.
I've been sought by people here, including offers to travel. I've been hated for mindless reasons. I've been here more of the last three years and three days than I really want to admit, and that's probably something I'll have to give up soon.
I miss Charlotte. But I really don't want to move back.
I feel kinda stupid for having put this in bullets.

[HardHarry]

The details of my life are quite inconsequential.

My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low-grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a 15-year-old French prostitute, named Chloe, with webbed feet. My father would womanize, he would drink. He made outrageous claims, like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical—summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we’d make meat helmets. When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds. Pretty standard really. At the age of 12, I received my first scribe. At the age of 14, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicals. There really is nothing like a shorn scrotum. It’s breathtaking. I suggest you try it.

Voyergirl, that it is so cool how you married your childhood sweetheart. I wish I could sew. I have problems sewing a button on a shirt. I admire you for working with special need kids. As a mother to a 10 year old son I cannot imagine what feelings you must be going through in reguards to your son being diagnosed with juvenile diabetes. Maybe you can try to find a support group for parents that have children with juvenile diabetes. Sometimes it helps to be able to talk with and get advice from others who are going through the same thing. Anyway I wish you and your family all the best.

Oh yeah? Where'd you study composition (and music ed.)?

[QueenCityHillbilly]

I was on my way to a music degree, then I decided I'd rather to television. I regret that about once a year, normally around Christmas when I hear some beautiful choral arrangements.

[magnus]

yeah I played brass-tinged baroque for the Christmas season from the 10th grade on (granted I don't play a brass instrument) and I've missed it the last three years.

My parents didn't want my sister to get a music degree - consequently after five major changes, she never got one (was still successful before she started her family). I got full support to go take music, and just didn't want to. Did a lot of what I wanted to do anyway, just going out playing and being in bands.

[QueenCityHillbilly]

That's the shitty thing about going music in college, it takes two or three semesters just to officially be able to do what you've been doing all your life.

[philcantspel]

I studied at Appalachian state (don't underestimate the school... it has the best music school in the state in my opinion)

I play the saxophone as my main instrument. I dabble on some of the other woodwind instruments (flute clarinet) but they aren't my favorite. I also can play Irish style music on a tin whistle. I hope to buy an Irish flute one day and play in an Irish group. I also own a theremin (an early electronic musical instrument where you hover your hands around two antennae).

Things suck right now, but I don't regret my choice. I'll get a teaching gig next school year I'm sure.

I should really get motivated and get some of my work published.

[QueenCityHillbilly]

I studied at Appalachian state (don't underestimate the school... it has the best music school in the state in my opinion)All of my UNCG profs used to talk shit about it, I told them they were just upset that we were all stuck in G'boro.

[magnus]

which sax? My main's baritone, from my funk/R&B days.

Yeah, something will come, you just gotta be willing to move around for that type job.

[philcantspel]

well some people may have done it all their life, but suck at it. haha

Alto mainly, I played the baritone in the top ensemble at App for one semester. It was fun honking out Gerswin bass lines that used the low A everywhere.

[philcantspel]

All of my UNCG profs used to talk shit about it, I told them they were just upset that we were all stuck in G'boro.

well ASU profs talk shit about UNCG. I don't know the deal? (however a lot of professors have left UNGC to teach at App)

[magnus]

Alto mainly, I played the baritone in the top ensemble at App for one semester. It was fun honking out Gerswin bass lines that used the low A everywhere.
always loved my low A in high school, but once I bought my own vintage w/o the low A, just a more powerful horn. The main problem I've had is that I can't decide between tenor and alto as a supplement. I don't like either that much.

strangely enough, you'll have an easier time with alto... a tenor player is strictly a tenor player

[jazzbluescat]

I found alto and bari to be more alike and going from bari to alto easier, because of the pitch, I reckon. Tenor, besides the pitch, responds differently than the other two. I play tenor exclusively now, but, I can double on alto if I'm coerced or bribed properly, but I don't like to(play alto).

[magnus]

I don't either. Being keyed the same doesn't hold much weight for me, it's not that hard to transpose in my head.

[jazzbluescat]

I found it disconcerting at first, when I first jumped to tenor, finding that the same fingering sounded a different pitch.

[magnus]

all in all, glad I split this thread.




I have that '48 10M and the Lawton, but it just doesn't speak the way I want. Granted this Lawton's dark and smaller, where I'm used to the ballsy, bright, big sound on the bari, so I might be able to remedy, but I can't find anyone looking to swap for a bigger Lawton

If I could get that, I could tear that 10M up. Right now it just sits and I want to sell it.

42 and married to the love of my life.
2 children, son age 7 and daughter age 9 (really cool kids)
Born and raised in NJ, lived in PA for a few years, currently living and hope to be buried in Eastern NC.
I work for the #1 pickle manufacturer in the South East (#2 in the world) What, did you think cucumbers just jumped in the jar by themselves?
Spelling and grammar are obviously not real important details to me, which is ironic considering what I’m actually responsible for here at work.
I have 4 Labrador Retrievers and plan on having my youngest show dog in the big show at Madison Square Garden in 2007
I wish I could play an instrument, and I’ve tried to learn.
I have 4 tattoo’s and pretty much sure I get more before I die.
I was elected as a town commissioner in 2006 (2 year term) despite not being on the ballot. I gave it a shot but recently resigned my seat.
I do church in the Presbyterian style, I’m a believer but realistic in my approach as to how things probably literally happened.
I’m a huge Panther fan, part time Tarheel fan, somewhat Bulldog fan, and before the Yankees ruined baseball I was a Mets fan.
I played Hockey (goalie) and football (RB/LB) in HS. also ran track and was on the swim team. I stay in shape now running Triathlons.
I talk a lot of shit.
I have a cyber obsession with Voyergirl – She cyber rocks my world!
I’m pretty much NOT a people person unless your name is Margarita then I can talk to you all night.

My name is Harold
I have a tattoo of Gina Lollobrigida on my ballsack and keep the pubic hair above my hangdown trimmed in the shape of the Omaha, Nebraska skyline

I have strangled 173 cats with my bare feet. I am the Dr. Kevorkian of the pet world.

I drink expensive cognac from plastic shot glasses and when I piss in the snow I write my name in Arabic

I once lived in a tree house outside Pocatello, Idaho. I laminated a flattened piece of armadillo shit and use it for ID. I have three .22 caliber bullets embedded in my brain.

My meal of choice is stringbean casserole with whipped cream on the side and a Jack Daniels chaser.

It was a real slow walk in a real sad rain
And nobody tried to be John Wayne
I came home, but Tex did not
And I can't talk about the hit he got
I got a little limp now when
I walk Got a little tremolo when
I talk But my letter read from Whiskey Sam
You're a walkin' talkin' miracle from Vietnam
