This may be Urban Legend, but I have heard that the conductor of Cleveland didn't like Ron Bishops Alexander and pushed so hard that he eventually started playing a 3/4 Rudy. Fact or Fiction, who knows. My first job was in Colorado Springs filling a one year leave of absence for Kelly Okamoto(1984-1985). The first day we were told(new players) that our picture was going to be in the paper. I was informed that it would probably be best if I had a haircut and shined up my old Marzan. Got the haircut, gave a song-and-dance about the acoustical anomalies that would become inherent in the horn if I cleaned it. They bought it. Go Figure.
