Deb I. --- I'm a professional musician/teacher in southwest MI. I'm an adjunct at Notre Dame, St. Mary's College, Andrews University and Indiana Univ. South Bend. I play in several local groups, and teach lots of private students. I was mom to Mippy, our miracle cat who sadly went to the Rainbow Bridge 1/25/21. But I'm now mom to Iggy and Punto, adopted 1/22/22. My husband was a retired musician, recently passed due to complications from Alzheimer's.

    Every musician and artist has stories of people wanting free stuff, claiming “it’ll be great exposure!”

    Home care workers were a lifesaver for me, until I needed to move him into residential care.

    For working musicians, the tux and long black dress are work clothes.

    I just noticed that auto-corrupt changed “horn” to “own” . But yes, Wagner, other Strauss pieces besides Til, Stravinsky, Brahms, etc., etc.

    When my cat (still a kitten at the time) needed antibiotics, I crushed them and mixed them with a bit of chicken baby food. Then I put the mixture on my finger, put my finger into his mouth for him to lick up the baby food/pill. He never scratched or bit me, and he’s happy, healthy boy-kitty now.

    It’s not that rare. Lots of great stuff for own is classical music. “Till” is cute and lilting, but deceptively treacherous for the horn player. But also check out Mahler Symphony No. 5, Tchaikovsky Sym. No. 2 (I just played the horn solo opening of that in a March concert), and his Sym. No. 5, along with a host of other 19th and 20th century orchestra works.
