[TPIN] NEWS: 12th Year Anniversary of Hosaphone(tm) Headquarters

[David A. Roth]

On the behalf of all the staff and management at Hosaphone(tm)
Headquarters we wish to thank you for visiting the Hosaphone(tm)
Headquarters web site over the past twelve years.

Most of all, Hosaphone(tm) Headquarters couldn't make this possible
without the help of people. Good people. Hard working people.
Hosaphone(tm) Headquarters honors these folks in our Employee of the
Month section which you are warmly invited to visit:
http://hosaphone.com/eotm.php

Since it began on April 1st, 1996 with little more than an FAQ, a
clunky ISP and but a dream it has grown into a voice that speaks
directly to the dawning of the post-modern age accessible to everyone
via at:
http://hosaphone.com

The Hosaphone(tm) FAQ made its debut on the TPIN (Trumpet Players'
International Network) and was quickly thrusted into the media
spotlight being featured
on the Netscape sponsored RealAudio show 'SPANQ!' by co-host Trip
Anchor http://hosaphone.com/celebs/

Since then Hosaphone(tm) Headquarters has been given a web site award
by the Philadelphia Inquirer online in July 1997
http://hosaphone.com/New and mentioned in the Washington
Post. Only these two fine publications can boast of how this has
increased their circulation and net earnings.

The jazzy blues work, Codetta in C for Hosaphone(tm), Piano and Bass
comp(h)osed by David A. Roth, has been performed in the UK in Wantage,
Oxfordshire, by Hosaphone(tm) Soloist, Graham Cross, where the
performance was awarded "best in class" in the Entertainment class of
Wantage Band's annual band contest by adjudicator Helen Wright.
Numerous educators have written to us expressing how they have used the
Hosaphone(tm) to peak interest in music and sound.

Codetta in C was aired as an "extra" on the syndicated Dr. Demento
Radio Show's Funny Five on August 31, 1997.

The brass quintet arrangement of Codetta in C has been performed
numerous times by the Brookside Brass Quintet for its Sounds of Science
for Young Audiences. Sheet music arrangement can now be purchased
online with a credit card or PayPal.

The Hosaphone(tm) was featured in the syndicated comic strip, "For  
Better or For Worse" on October 28-31, 2006
referred to respectfully as the "hosaphonium":

Excerpt from the most important brasswind grand treatise of the 20th
century (and beyond), the Hosaphone(tm) FAQ:

2.1) What is a Hosaphone(tm)?

What is art? What is beauty? It is almost beyond the scope of human
understanding to answer these questions within the span of a lifetime.
At what point does the craftsman become artist and in so making that  
art,
become part of that art him- or herself? With this monumental task
before us, we strive to forge ahead as we embark on a journey  
together to learn
about the Hosaphone(tm) through a process of self-discovery. To learn
about the Hosaphone(tm) is to learn about our selves. They come with  
tassels
too.

David A. Roth, Comp(h)oser
Ellis Workman, Hosaphone(tm) Inventor/Mentor
