Another one I heard was about a farming programme broadcast early yesterday morning saying that they had discovered a red daffodil in a field and farmers had to keep their cattle away in case it was damaged!

In fact, I and my friends did the recital that made them decide they needed rules about recitals. A bunch of fascists ran the place back then. Glad to see they've loosened up.

Sounds like an interesting story Edwin . . . .

Post by: gtrguy on April 05, 2017, 11:04:21 AM: Years ago a newspaper I worked for ran a spoof April Fools day story showing a retouched picture (pre-Photoshop) with an oil derrick in a field in the county I live in and claiming oil had been found. It was not so funny after a person trying to buy some property nearby had a land deal fall through as the potential seller thought his property might also have an oil deposit and decided not to sell it but find out first. They were threatened with a lawsuit.

When did you attend Berklee? A very good friend of mine who was a trombonist and who I played with for a good number of years attended from 1973-1977. Based on the conversations I had with him his experiences were similar to yours.

Post by: keith_h on April 06, 2017, 05:27:55 AM: I had a cousin who went there for a couple of semesters during the late 70's. He dropped out pretty quickly as he wasn't expecting the serious business like environment of the school at that time and didn't do well with his more casual approach to life.

I graduated in '85. The recital in question was on leap year day, 1984, the year of George Orwell. I'll describe the scenario sometime when I'm not so tired. It was a scene. But we got our revenge at the Berklee Performance Center with some even more outrageous shenanigans a year later.
