Re: Lone Ranger

Ahhhhhhhh....you softy. Music, and smells can do that to me too. To this
day, if I smell White Shoulders perfume I think of my grandmother. And
she used to wear "Evening in Paris" which I don't think is even around
anymore. And the smell of pipe tobacco will stop me in my tracks if a
smell a certain kind. Reminds me of my grandfather.

  And music does that to me too.

  When I was a tot, I listened to the Lone Ranger [whose real name was 
John Reid, and he was the uncle of Dan Reid, who was the father of 
Britt Reid, aka the Green Hornet] on radio, Monday, Wednesday, and 
Friday. As everyone--including those who never heard the Lone Ranger on 
radio probably know, the show's theme song was Rossini's "William Tell 
Overture."--all that to say whenever I hear the "William Tell Overture" 
I get a pang of nostalgia for "the days of yesteryear," whatever that 
meant.

Today, I received a CD recorded by Symphonia Fantastique, which, 
apparently, is a group associated with the Indiana University School of 
Music. What is truly unusual about this quasi-orchestra is that it is 
comprised entirely of tubas, euphoniums, and percussion instruments.

The first track on the CD is the "William Tell Overture." I've never 
heard--nor imagined that I ever would hear--this piece played solely by 
tubas and euphoniums. Fantastique! Brought a tear to my eye.
