Penn State Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Al Perkins (owner of www.alsmiddlebrasspages.com/mellophone ), Scooter Pirtle (owner of www.middlehornleader.com) and Mark Taylor, Jazz hornist are producing podcasts about the mellophone. The first epsiode ia available now at the mellocast website: http://www.mellocast.com The intent is to have the show eventually available on iTUNES. It includes a very cool mellophone feature song from Don Elliot. Check it out. Hope you will enjoy it. Al is encouraging questions that can be used for future episodes. IMHO the Don Elliot recording alone makes it worth listening too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're trying to make it not all about drum corps. But still, like they said, most if not all of the mellophone listeners are doing so because of drum corps. Give Us Drum Corps!

Mello - Benji Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 What an awesome podcast. Hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn State Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 second episode is available on ipod now. Traditional and bell front mellos are compared (King bugles are mentioned!) with a good Kenton recording. Very interesting, it was mentioned that the Kenton mellophonium pieces influenced how mello parts are written for drum corps. its another good episode. Enjoy!

rai-mello Posted May 5, 2007 Share Posted May 5, 2007 That was a good episode. I actually know of Paula, not personally, but through people who say she's a great person. Nice to hear her. And she doesn't have a bad voice to boot :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_Al Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Don't worry -- we plan on plenty of corps clips, interviews, etc. on the podcast. We're just pacing ourselves! (We also plan on having Paula back soon!) Thanks for listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
