Do you think if more LA studio musicians had been 21st century band directors, then...? Eh, never mind.

I watched a lot of Hogan's Heroes this past week hanging out with my parents, so I'll offer up that as an example. It's not too bad, but the upper woodwinds/picc. are definitely a bit crunchy.

Thing is, I don't hate it. The song itself is cheesy as hell, but the pitch discrepancy... meh.

The piccolo in Hogan's Heroes bothers Mrs. bloke.
I'm so accustomed to keyboard intonation (high range - very sharp) that it don't bug me.
