[PRCo] Re: Merry Christmas

[John Swindler]

Hi Dennis
 
For some strange reason, have long enjoyed baroque brass music.  Trumpet, trombone, doesn't matter.  Just seem to enjoy it, such as the Te Diem piece by Carpentier on your website.   Several pieces in the Messiah are also favorites, such as 'The Trumpets Shall Sound."  My father would listed to British band music during my junior high/high school days, so perhaps that set a predisposition in this direction, rather then the rock n roll of 'normal' kids. 
 
My wife accuses me of being born too late, but this might also apply to others on this list.
 
Elsewhere on this list there was mention of Pat Bish.  Her show is broadcast/(rebroadcast?) at 7pm Friday on our local cable.  Even when she is playing a piece we don't care for, the background scenery, usually from Europe, is quite dramatic.  And tonight it's time for my wife to watch some of British comedy programs on the cable.  Suspect Fred would understand.  (:>)
