Its considered one of the ten best shots Tiger ever hit. If it was a straight ahead 193 yard shot he would've used a 6 or 7 iron.

This is the same old Rob, having to run down anyone and anything who has achieved anything in life. He must really be a sad individual, since it seems that angry envy is all he has to keep him going. By the way, you never did say where you are teaching now, did you, even though Bobby asked you directly. So, which educational institution now has the benefit of your unparalleled classroom skills and knowledge?

My wife's grandfather played in the OSU Marching Band in the 20's or 30's, and went on to have his own professional dance band as a sideline. He played with all the gig bands, and we have a picture of him taken in NY after a concert with the Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman, Cab Callaway, and a number of other luminaries. Sounds as though you know many of the same folk, although a little later in life! When my daughter was out at the Rose Bowl with the OSU Marching Band in January, a group of the trumpet players had dinner with (and at the request of) a Rich Baptist, who seems to be one of the top session players in the LA area right now. He is prominently featured on the sound track for "The Incredibles", which is heavy on the trumpet part. He let them know how anxious he was to get to play with the OSUMB, and that he would even pay his way to Columbus for the chance to do so. He was sick and tired of Hollwood always using the USC band, which he didn't think held a candle to OSU's (all brass) Marching Band! They are working on fitting him into one of this season's haltimes, if they can. In the end, he also picked up the dinner tab, which always goes down well with college students! > > > >All you have ever done here is try to pump up your phoney image by > >venting hostility towards others. > > Pump up my image?

I notice he carefully excised that from his idiotic response to you.

That would be Rick Baptist who is all you say and more. He arrived in L.A. after I left, but is a superb player, and has been a first call player for over 25 years there. Most of the studio players really enjoy doing college clinics and concerts. OSU couldn't do better than Baptist. >> > BK

Before he left, he gave each of the kids his card, attached to an original sheet from the score of the Academy Awards, and told them all that if they were ever in LA, to look him up. I think a few of them might make the trip specially to do that. Let's hope they get him to Columbus this fall. |
