[Dixielandjazz] FAKING IT TO RECORDED OR SYNTHESIZED MUSIC

[Bill Gunter]

Steve B reports (regarding the syncronization with a recording):

>Reminds me of a time I went into a North Beach topless joint, on Broadway 
>in
>San Francisco circa 1967 (lived there for 5 years) to see an all girl jazz
>quartet play . . . topless.

>In pursuit of art mind you. :-) VBG

>These wonderfully endowed, beautiful young ladies were swinging like crazy

>Then, all of a sudden, there was a short passage that started playing over

This is a possible solution for the symphony when there is no real oboe 
player to be found.  Hire a topless bimbo to fake the oboe part while the 
keyboard dude actually plays the oboe part on his synth.

The symphony will get raves from the public and the oboist wil probably get 
a (sic) standing ovation!

The symphony may be rescued from the financial woes which tend to plague big 
city orchestras.
