Another great conversation, thank you, Brent and Roger!
Roger, this past month I’ve been listening to the Members’ podcast past episodes every evening, one by one. I love it so much and wanted to say thank you. Your podcast is awesomissimo.
First of all, Roger, don’t feel that you need to read this “on the air”.
Another fantastic first: An interview with someone who I had never interacted with on the forums, but who I will be sure to check out soon!
Now, to clarify some of last week’s comments:
1. Joe Namath https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1064632.I_Can_t_Wait_Until_Tomorrow_Cause_I_Get_Better_Looking_Every_Day
2. Irish Divisions
One day when she had nothing to do
Sing rickety-tickety-tin
One day when she had nothing to do
She cut her baby brother in two
And served him up as an irish stew
And invited the neighbors in, -bors in
Invited the neighbors in https://genius.com/Tom-lehrer-the-irish-ballad-lyrics
3. When you and Niki were discussing Guitoberfest, she mentioned that some of the potential scheduling would be “too late for Europeans”. I never thought that was possible as my experience has been that the European’s that I know of no concept of “late” (for instance, dinner plans for 11 PM or midnight).
Thank you so much for the wonderful opportunity, and thanks members for the comments! Wow, can I run my mouth! :) It was such a pleasure, and I look forward to meeting you, as well as other CGCA members one of these days soon! And congratulations on the job!
Brent
PS Mark: Thank you for the link! My CD is on its way!!
Thank you for another wonderful podcast Roger and congratulations on the new job! I thoroughly enjoyed listening to Brent’s fascinating history. It’s great to have another professional musician join our ranks. They say attitude is everything and Brent, your ability to look on the bright side is very refreshing and uplifting. And thank you for clearing up the difference between the oboe and the English horn! Professional guitarists often seem to complain about the dearth of repertoire for our instrument, so it was great to hear you comment that, compared to the oboe, you’re finding the repertoire for the guitar rather plentiful! I look forward to meeting you one day! Warm regards, Mark
Hi Roger and Brent, That was fun and it was nice to hear you both laughing a good deal. So many musical experiences Brent, thanks for sharing. French Horn blends very well with English Horn but we are two very different animals. English horn has some of the most beautiful solos in the orchestral repertoire, highlights including the most lonely sounding music ever in Tristan and Isolde, the lovely 2nd movement of the Ravel Piano Concerto in G, Berlioz Damnation of Faust, Sibelius Swan of Tuonela, Shostakovitch Symphony 8, Franck Dminor Symphony, etc. I would love to hear Brent play Cor Anglais someday. Yes, the repertoire for you may be limited, but as you say, when you are on in the orchestra, you are on! Glad you are here learning the guitar, cheers! Joseph
I am loving the comments read live! That means I get to hear from even more of our community in each episode. Great interview and stories from Brent. I too played without nails for a long while. I’m finding now that long nails are a labor of love on guitar. And they are useful beyond the guitar. They make an excellent tool for getting eyes out of potatoes and the stems off strawberries. One day I’ll need to list all the side benefits of long nails.
I really enjoyed listening to your story Brent. I played the adagio from concerto Aranjuez for my son a few weeks ago, and he wants to play it on French horn. Now I know he should learn English horn too! Thanks for talking through your musical journey.
Roger, another great one! Congrats on your new job and I hope it’s going well.
Hello Brent,
I forwarded your podcast on to my in-laws. I know they will be happy to get to know you. They have really enjoyed the concerts they have a attended. I remember enjoying one of those concerts too when I was visiting.
We will have to meet, when the world is back to normal. Until then, I am so very thankful for this podcast and your story.
Thank you for being a part of the CGC academy. I look forward watching you grow in your journey. You are a bright and joyful soul.
Thank you Brent and Roger for this great interview. Brent your experience is so interesting and inspiring—-you are adding much to CGC! The in-person lessons with Dave sound very positive. I look forward to more of your musical adventure!
