Odd quote of the day…
Wednesday August 13 2008
From an interview with Eugene Cook, a former editor of Time-Life magazine.
Cook: When you were performing with the Philharmonia it looked to me as though your breath was what singers might call a “high breath.”Bloom: Absolutely not— I tell students to accept the fact that we play a wind instrument and that they must blow. I’ve noticed that my beginning female students have a tendency to breathe high.
Cook: Some women look good taking high breaths—
Bloom: (laughing) Yes, but unfortunately oboe playing is not a spectator sport.
Taken from To the World’s Oboists, October 1976
Man, if an editor said that today, he’d get ROASTED… by all sorts of activist groups.

I’m not sure it would only be activist groups, Cooper!
