[Harp-L] all Gussied up and no place to go?

[JON KIP <jon@xxxxxxxxxx>]

this Gus thing is really fun...interesting...

I've never seen it in what used to be part of my regular line of work, but just thinking of sitting in an orchestra playing oboe or another "more expensive than harmonica" instrument, playing "The Mahler" or "The Mozart" (that's how snobby, or semi-snobby classical players talk) and having someone in the audience unpack their oboe,  wet up a reed, play a few warm up notes and then join in with the orchestra, is really kind of cool....

If I were rich, I'd arrange for that to happen, and have it filmed.

Not being all that rich, I'll just imagine it from time to time.

This is really cool....thanks to whoever started this thread....
