Horn Thoughts

One of my passions is music, I play the french horn in a number of amateur ensembles. I've been contributing to a couple of horn mailing lists for several years. In that time, I've written reams of advice and comment, and I think it is about time I tried to put it all together. So starting from today I'm going to put together some of my better pieces on this blog so that I can more easily refer to them and so you can comment on them.
