That's rather like saying that a receiver who falls down while running a route should just fall down again and act like it's intentional. Those ignorant of the game wouldn't know, but those who appreciate the skills and training involved would find it ludicrous and laughable. You couldn't pull it of...

Replies: 37

Casey has done something very good for beginner flute players by making the folk flute available for such a reasonable price. His folk flutes are miles ahead of the plastic cheapies for which some of us initially settled. I recently had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Casey at his shop. A...

Flute Case for Sale

I have decided to sell one of my flute cases. It's brand new. I never utilized it, but someone should have this. Construction is heavy-duty nylon over a hard-shell. It has an outside pocket, and the inside is a plush, 3 divided custom-adjustable sections. The case is compact, with stout zippers and ...

It only stands to reason that the Church could not accept every writing which claimed to be Holy Scripture. Only such as were truly inspired could be allowed in the canon. Walden, Jim, Monster, Jerry, and all, I didn't have time to fully consider all the points made in this thread in detail, so ple...

There are thousands of Vietnam era soldiers who were addicts in-country, yet never touched heroin again after return to the US. It is something well documented, but rarely discussed. They quit cold turkey when their environment changed. Perhaps addiction isn't quite as well understood as those who ...

A good friend of mine wrote this poem. Hope some of you get a kick out of it. Carpool Mom She's a carpool mom. A Revlon blonde. And she thinks that she's so real. So then why does she conceal the color of her hair? And wear fake fingernails and tell tale rumors of a boob job, too. So who's she tryin...

Peter - I believe the summer school is a new aspect of what they've been up to. The school of music was indeed founded in 1977.

You may want to contact: info@mcpeakeschool.fsnet.co.uk for details from the horse's mouth.

Best,

As long as they do not try to promote themselves as something they are not... Remind me, what was it that abominable performance in the movie tried to portray?
