Talk:Champlain Flyer

message: According to the Green Mountain Railroad's official webpage the Champlain Flyer still operates as a Green Mountain Railroad branch, just as the Green Mountain & White River branches do.
http://www.rails-vt.com/cvf_main.html
If this is the case, why does this page indicate that the line has been dead since 2003? Did GMRC buy this line and add it to their fleet at some point between 2004 and 2006? ---- DanTD 13:52, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Audit 

message: It looks like the Vermont Railway GP38-2 that hauled the former Champlain Flyer was #202, which was repainted blue from its former red and white paint scheme. It looks like that after the train was shutdown in 2003, the locomotive kept its blue paintwork but had the Champlain Valley Flyer logos removed from its nose and body and was replaced with the Washington County Railroad logo. For proof that it was #202 who pulled the train, I found an image with #202 in its blue paintwork, which can be found in the link below me.

what were the circumstances around his death in 1996?at age 50. Why was he not more known even though he played with famous conductors, accompanists, orchestras .Sort of appearing on world stage and disappeared almost without a trace. Kind of unbelievable. I happened to be his contemporary ( Aug 1946 ). Grew up with Miriam Freed from Israel ( classmate of mine ) who was a winner of the queen Elizabeth prize .is there any more info about him?

Talk:Rafael Méndez

message: Here:
"His most famous recording, "Moto Perpetuo," was written in the eighteenth century by Paganini for violin and features Mendez double tonguing continuously for over 4 minutes while circular breathing to give the illusion that he is not taking a natural breath while playing.  (Edit -- this is not correct.  I knew Mr. Mendez and he told me that it was impossible to double-tongue while circular breathing and the recording was spliced.)"
I removed the italicized material - it's interesting and may be true for all I know but it can't be used in the form of a personal comment from an individual. Any chance of sorting it out and citing a source please? Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 22:46, 18 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm afraid his son was either mistaken or interested in perpetuating a legend related to his father. This recording is part of oft-repeated lore regarding Rafael. He was one of the great virtuosos of the trumpet and his performance of Moto Perpetuo is a demonstration of his superb abilities, however the recording is spliced. Note that you won't find any film of him performing the piece in a live setting. Yes, it was well within the ability of the recording technology of the day to make the necessary precise splices. However, finding a Wiki-passable citation might prove to be a challenge. Docsavage20 (talk) 09:22, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

The editor who adds the tag must address the issues on the talk page, pointing to specific issues that are actionable within the content policies, namely Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:No original research and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons.

If anyone insists on removing the name of Mr. Boltz's former spouse again, at least edit the sentence in such a way that it makes sense when reading it rather than leaving it as it previously read "He was married to for 33 years" which is obviously missing the proper noun for his former spouse.
