It aces the checklist of blog entry perfection I have borrowed from a Liz Phair song: obnoxious, funny, true and mean. I now declare the internet complete and over.<BR/><BR/>I think there's something ritualistic, also, for better and worse, about suiting up. It means, for one thing: rehearsals are over, go get 'em, tiger. But it's dowdy and puts people in mind of sitting still, afraid to cough, and probably it should go.Maury D'annatohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136129943169313348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991721412361909265.post-67239866077980620652008-10-11T11:48:00.000-04:002008-10-11T11:48:00.000-04:00I like it.

Maybe you can get on that—some tracksuits and hoodies and apple-bottom jeans, with a flashy New Amsterdam logo? It can be called NewAmStyles, and YOU'RE WELCOME, I just made you a billionaire.<BR/><BR/>Although you may have some competition, since I believe Nico will be designing a line inspired by fashions from the new music world, such as my trademark relish-stained khakis.Dan Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379073869436839786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991721412361909265.post-7714308046529603882008-10-10T15:41:00.000-04:002008-10-10T15:41:00.000-04:00I love the idea of starting a "Caleb Burhans line"...I love the idea of starting a "Caleb Burhans line", like Kathie Lee or Martha Stewart.Juddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11469699651809300050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3991721412361909265.post-41405409384347666342008-10-10T12:46:00.000-04:002008-10-10T12:46:00.000-04:00patty: It's true, concert dress is such a thorny ...patty: It's true, concert dress is such a thorny thing. A part of me sympathizes with your young colleague—when I played in orchestras, there was always something very exciting about putting on the old costume for a performance of Beethoven's Fifth. It may be, at this point in history, no more than a game of dress-up, but that doesn't mean it isn't aesthetically satisfying for a lot of people in the audience, too.<BR/><BR/>caleb: Hooray, thanks for stopping in! Your shirt is, so to speak, in the mail.<BR/><BR/>blu_stocking: Re: thong, [insert <BR/>pun on "G-string"].

They weren't reprimanded. <BR/><BR/>I do wonder, though, about the drawing of attention to one's self. Is it a good idea? Bad idea? Not worth even dealing with? <BR/><BR/>The way we look on stage has always been an issue. Some think we should all wear the same thing ... that women should be in uniform as well, rather than just all black. <BR/><BR/>Me? I wish we'd nix the tails (Sigh. That's an old costume and no one dresses that way any more.) and I think all black for both men and women would be fine. But when I mentioned that to someone (who is probably the youngest person in our orchestra!) he argued in favor of tails. <BR/><BR/>I'm not sure we'll ever figure this stuff out.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172401944836258683noreply@blogger.com
