Sumo
wrestling makes for good cello practicing.
The bouts are generally quite brief
and there are several minutes of ritual between bouts during which I
can be distracted back to the cello. Also, since the announcing is
in Japanese there's no need for the sound at any level (for
me!)

I can't watch it. I keep thinking I
look just like them. (Better cut back on the KK's.)

David, it would take three of you to
make one Phillip Myers (principal horn, NY Phil). What on earth do
they do when the orchestra has to go on tour? What plane/bus seat
could possibly hold him?

We had the same problem with Frank
Miller. He always needed a seat belt extention, but boy, could he
play the cello.

It would still take two Millers to
make one Myers.

Phil
Meyers
I remember reading a nick name for
him on a juilliar Men's Room wall. It was funny but I think if he
ever read this board it would seem kind of mean to post what it
said.
But it refers to you point about Mr. Meyers,
OyOy.

avoid
watching 3-Day Eventing!!
When I whatch that I seem to ride
over every jump, and suffer consequent palpatations - not conducive
to good scales. Indeed any sport with an element of suspense (golf,
tiddlywinks) is inconducive.
I certainly won't be able to
watch our valiant team: Blyth Tait, Vaughn Jeffris, Andrew
Nicholson, Mark Todd et al. battling it out in Seedny Maybe dressage
would be better?
