Hi Keane,
I wasn't sure what a French Horn was & I looked it `up & now I know....Yes, it's amazing what I learn and member's on the MCF

Holton H378 Farkas Double French Horn (Lacquer)
$2,399
WoW they are expensive...Did you March in the Band ? It looks 2 heavy 4 little me : )
I think that would be fun...I'd like to be a drummer
Do you still play ? Is it a hard instrument to play ?
Make a recording & post Maybe we can start a MCF Band & have it play at our unknown place & date of our MCF ReUnion What ? One never knows ? I might hit a 200 Million $ Lotto & pay for a get 2gether myself ?
Oh, I do dream a lot

Space, yes i was in the marching band as it was a requirement. We played at the half time show during home football games, marched with elemtary school kids on halloween and march in a memorial day parade. We also did many more activities. I actually have not played a note since the last time i played with the school band in maybe late may early june.

It is actually one of the harder instruments to learn to play and this past year we only had 3 horn players out of a band of over 80 kids, and at times through school i've been the only horn player. So they're rare. The horn i have is actually $3,000 3 times more than my monte cost Its nickel plated so its super shiny Believe it or not there is a marching french horn, as its hard to stand and play a normal horn.

Mousehouse... I can certainly understand the whole work thing. I don't get to play much anymore. Which is not good for the instruments, or me. Getting out of practice. But the same way "the mouse" makes you work weekends and holidays. Caesar decrees that I work weekends and holidays too. On midnight shift also. But, it's a living.

Taz, we need a pic of you playing the sax, I think it's pretty cool that you do that, not what I pictured? I've always wanted to learn how to play the drums.....

Hi Taz; where do you work and what do you do? I've worked for the mouse for over eleven years now. Mickey keeps the place open in some shape or form 24 hours a day 365. I have worked all hours and every day. Currently I work second shift and I have Sunday and Monday off. I hope to get back on days next summer so I can start to play again. Lots of projects to do. I also miss the car shows and cruises.
