Well, in one orchestra we had a Red Cross worker, and at every dress rehearsal, the Red Cross provided up to seven hundred woollen blankets to simulate the audience... they usually declared this an "emergency exercise".
Now THAT is thinking ahead!
Yes, there are many variations on abstract painting which succeed as art and not as garbage, but like any artistic endeavor, there is a whole range of competence and lack thereof. One would not look at abstraction, however slight, and declare it to be photographic, but to be offended at such a compliment reveals a lack of character and ability IMO. A lot of art consists of sycophants stroking fragile egos over what, from any rational perspective, is crap, not art.

I've been playing Martin Denny videos, among many others, on YouTube.
The one I remember the most is: "My daddy's rich, my mama's good lookin', I've never had a bad day in my life, and I can still play the blues."
@GeorgeB All the instruments appear to be period-correct. Did you notice the drumstick tips?
@SSmith1226 I'd be interested in taking a look at your ensemble arrangements.
@SSmith1226 Ummagumma's my favorite Pink Floyd album by far. Roger Waters, in spite of all his musical ability, is my least favorite Pink Floyd member by far.
Looks nice. Good luck with it. Some suitable replacement leadpipes are affordable, so if you need to go that route, you won't break the bank.

You’re both right! It is sort of scary. Since this study was done in Italy, they were probably listening to Puccini rather than Berg.Ah yes, that good ole lyrical Italian music . . like Nono and Berio.
Pleasant dreams!!

Please allow me to suggest that this thread may have passed its expiration date, figuratively speaking. The discussion has narrowed to a repeated difference of opinion expressed by two members, both sides of which have been thoroughly enunciated. When one party goes out of his way to concisely define his opinion and the other party continues to restate his, even after the conversation has reached its end, then we have a problem. If no new information is offered by other members, the reasonable option will be to close this thread.
