I love it... "He played the shit out of that" in reference to a Tuba player!! Gosh I love when people open my eyes to other things. I'm going to have to go to the library now and see if I can listen to any Brahms they have there. I must say, in all my years playing Cello, I never once came across music of his that I would recognize. It's time to remedy that. Thanks for the hint guys.
Anyone ever used to watch Frasier? Did you see the one where Niles and Frasier were talking about Classical music and lementing about when you first become 'cultured', and think the "1812 Overture" is a piece of good classical composition? It was at that moment that I thought I witnessed the perfect joke about Yuppies. Gosh did I laugh. Just a little threadjack, sorry.
