Playing Less Hurt - by Janet Horvath
Playing Less Hurt, Janet Horvath

No Pain, No Gain

Wednesday, May 04, 2005

The late, great guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan was said to have played so hard some nights that his fingers bled. Perhaps Mr. Vaughan could have used some advice from Janet Horvath, author of an injury prevention guide for instrumentalists. Horvath, a cellist, talks to John Schaefer about her personal experience with injury, to dispense tips for those encountering pain, and to shed light on the denial among many in the music community about the effects of pain. The Marx Brothers' manic slapstick and absurd wit made them comedy legends. But what about their music? Tonight at Joe’s Pub, reed player Matt Darriau will pay tribute to the music of the Marx Brothers' films, with help from saxophonist and Jazz Passenger Roy Nathanson. Nathanson will also serve as the evening's MC, in Groucho’s persona. Darriau and Nathanson, sans slapstick, will us on Soundcheck to explain the inspiration for the project.
