I will be in the UK! Actually I'll be new music festival-hopping throughout Europe for the fall, finishing up at Huddersfield. Where are you based now? It will be such a pleasure to see you. I'm sure it can be arranged.
Hello there again Adam. A fine collection of music you have here. I would like to add an American Classic from the early 70s; just for a little balance of musical tastes on your page!
Tally-hoe there Dr. Adam (is THAT right?)! Just started myspacin' last week...pretty cool. And yes, that be some cud-chewing music, although as far as I know here across the pond, only cows chew the stuff (maybe it's different in the UK, you know, with that driving on the wrong side of the road and all). Anyway, great to be in touch with you. Don't forget to call me to guest conduct out there...doin' a great program soon with Torke, Tower, Piston, and Harbison.
Yes, we WILL visit you!! And yes, we miss younju, leanne, and others. and next year victor, salley and all the other seniors will be gone as well!! weird.
