For eight months Houston was an unbelievably torrid effluvial sump with a mass of mushy asphalt, known as Downtown, set in the middle. Then for two months, starting in November, the most amazing winds came sweeping down from Canada, as if down a pipe, and the humid torpor turned into a wet chill. The remaining two months were the moderate ones, although not exactly what you would call spring. The clouds closed in like a lid, and the oil refineries over by Galveston Bay saturated the air, the nose, the lungs, the heart, and the soul with the gassy smell of oil funk. There were bays, canals, lakes, lagoons, bayous everywhere, all of them so greasy and toxic that if you trailed your hand in the water off the back of your rowboat you would lose a knuckle. The fishermen used to like to tell the weekenders: "Don't smoke out there or you'll set the bay on fire." All the poisonous snakes known to North America were in residence there: rattlers, copperheads, cottonmouths, and corals"

Tom Wolfe said it 30+ years ago. And you've used it before... do you just keep this relic on your desktop to copy and paste when needed? LOL.

As usual, you are never able to speak of Houston in the present.

Overall....I think I do agree...T.S.U just had (or have) a solid Brass section......P.V did too tho....We went to P.V band camps every year in High school so I love P.V. just as much as T.S.U.
