Laughter Is Everything!
I originally posted this on 12/29/2012, but the video never worked. So I decide to re-post it. Hopefully works now! I wanted to share something from the past! While on orchestra tour in Chicago in 2009, we were eating at Giordano's, and I was goofing around buzzing through a paper wrapper. The string players around me were trying to figure out how I produced a buzz, so I was teaching them, and we ended up buzzing some excerpts...but they thought I should do a solo excerpt and they'd sing along to Beethoven 5 (we had just finished watching the Chicago Symphony perform Beethoven 5 that night). As you can tell, my horn colleague to the right of me is looking at me like I'm crazy!
