[Trombone-l] Air Horn Symphony

[Charles De Paolo]

Reminds me of a piece I saw on Discovery channel a little while ago where Daniel Barenboim conducts a symphony (dance?) of a dozen or more giant gantry cranes in the former East Berlin.  All the cranes "danced" in sync to his cues.  Pretty amazing stuff.

  Hey Earl,

  I heard an NPR feature, where they interviewed a guy who had actually gotten 
  together 12 trucks, and arranged a piece for the air horns which was to be 
  performed at the Super Bowl, I think. I can't remember what piece it 
  was....not the National Anthem, but they played it and it sounded...pretty 
  awful. But he should get an E for Effort, and a C for Creativity.

  He never got to play it at the Super Bowl...security concerns or some such 
  nonsense. I think he should do it next year.
