So, what;s the deal with Lawrence Nugent?

Post by gcollins »

Hey peoples, what's going on with Larry Nugent these days? Heard he headed off into the drink and is off the scene. I'vew spent more time learning how to play flute from his CDs than anyone else's, and I'm looking forward to another.

Who's got news?

Glauber, my main Brazilian man in Chicago, you are in his adopted hometown, you must know! what's up? obrigaddo!

That would sore news indeed G :cry: , I love his style of playing and while I don't try specifically to emulate his style, it is one of great energy and inventiveness.

Cheers,

Love his playing, too. But maybe a public forum isn't
the right place for this inquiry? Not that I know
anything, and we might unintentionally do somebody's
reputation harm. '

'Is it really true what I've heard that Stone
is shtupping aardvarks?'

'Well, I'm not sure about the aardvark.
Heard it was a platypus, named Monica...'

'My god, what does his wife say?'

'Didn't you hear what I've heard she's up to?
Why do you think he's turned to beastiality
in the first place?'

'You mean....'

'Yes, the recorder....'

Can we just say that he's been having a hard time and leave it at that, please? I don't have very up to date news and if anyone has good news I'd love to hear it. But I'm not going public on what I have heard; this isn't the appropriate place and I'm not an appropriate mouthpiece.

Hearing Lawrence Nugent on 'Wooden Flute Obsession" inspired me to take up the flute and place an order with Casey Burns for a beginner flute on the advice of this board (thanks people, I'm having lots of fun with it- along with beginners frustration).
Best of luck to Nugent, and may we hear from him soon.

Tell us something.: Been a fluter, citternist, and uilleann piper; committed now to the way of the harp.

Oh, yeah: also a mod here, not a spammer. A matter of opinion, perhaps.

Larry's just fine. He's been performing around with a number of people. I asked him a little over a week ago when his next CD was coming out, and he said likely in about another year.

Laurence is the man, hardly anyone I'd rather listen to G. - I've been itching to hear more from him as well.

Well, I hope he does. I love his arrangements.

No worries, Stone. This IS the forum to talk about these things, even hardship.

OT: Anyone been following that Cannibal case in Germany? Oh my, oh my. But assuredly, this is definitely not the forum to discuss THAT.

I disagree. This isn't the forum to discuss (and thereby spread) rumours about the personal lives of musicians, even if the rumours are well-founded. Why isn't a subtle hint enough to explain the absence of product and put an end to public speculation? Must we going degenerate to the level of tabloid press journalism and deprive our finest artists of their privacy?

The lack of a CD for a few years should hardly be cause for alarm anyway, however much we feel deprived. Some of the greatest exponents of the music make about one CD a decade and some don't record at all.

All this notwithstanding, the good news Nano reports is very welcome.

Why can't we talk about cannibals? Don't we taste like pork, supposedly?

This is why I got excommunicated from the
Church. After they explained transubstantiation
to me, I kept asking for seconds at communion.

I repeat that I did not know
the aardvark's name.
There was no platypus.

Also I want to say something about
giraffes. It's been said that I have
a 'thing' for giraffes. I deny that. Here's
the truth: I sometimes play my flute
for the animals at the zoo.
And when I do, the animals at the
zoo couldn't care less. Except
for the giraffes. They troop across the giraffe
enclosure and stand with their heads drooped
over the fence, listening raptly.

Fans, not groupies.
