Plagiarism
I am creatively bankrupt, so I'm posting this from my e-mail.
The discussion is about the differences in composing methods, (Piano, Computer, Pen and ink.)

Good one, Matt!
We are going to a Philharmonia Northwest concert this afternoon.
In the meantime it's to the store for milk and eggs.
Oh yeah, I also stole this from Oboeinsight.
I am always on the lookout for unpleasant things to say about this boring little hick town and especially the SSO, who chose to have a hostile relationship with me.
Bitterness is my solace.

In my undergraduate days, I considered composing on a piano, but all the
ink I had was black, and the pianos were also black, so legibility left
much to be desired.

I have a message for hopeful superstars stepping onto the Seattle scene: wannabes turn into hasbeens around here. The clever ones pack their bags and leave before it’s too late. Oboist nonpareil Alex Klein fled from the University of Washington’s environment of self-satisfied mediocrity to become Principal of Chicago Symphony under Daniel Barenboim. Alex now teaches at Oberlin. Paul Coletti, the prominent viola soloist and chamber musician, departed from the ADS (Artistic Dustbin Seattle) and is currently a faculty member of the Colburn School at University of Southern California. Los Angeles seems to attract geniuses and hold onto them. Joshua Roman, young cellist extraordinaire, caught on in the nick of time, stepping out of you-know-where: the kindergarten sandbox.

You are NOT alone.
I found the source of the "dustbin" quote.
Click on the M.K. Talvi site for the whole article.
At least your literary borrowing was classy. Plagiarism is only a true sin when you do not acknowledge the theft, or borrowing. Otherwise it might be more correctly labeled research, essay, and like that. My taking of whole chunks of your prose, Alex's, Rick's, Janet's and others, is still in the realm of "creative blogging" cuz I reorganize them into linebreaks and poems that were not heretofore present. So fret not, Sir Savant, you are not the author of dastardly misrepresentation--rather you are the proponent of scholarship, comment, and research shared.
Good on you.

Hallo, Lane!
In your collection of greats who escaped the SSO for better positions, you omitted the VERY BEST one, former Principal Oboist of the SSO, Nathan Hughes, who is now Principal Oboist of the USA's best orchestra (and best-paid), the Metropolitan Opera orchestra!!
You, two, too, have experienced Nathan's greatness, as he has appeared regularly at the Chamber Music Society's Summer Festivals.
Tschüß,
Anonomann
