From “Lead Trumpet” to “Fluqtraum Studio Trumpet”? :-) What’s this marvelous music John? We are in neoclassicism – inspired by Arthur Honegger, Poulenc, even ‘Sheherazade’ of Rimsky Korsakov is present. I appreciate your musical sensibility. I love also “For Dancers Only Solo”. I couldn’t find you on iTunes or CD Baby; is there some place that I can listen your complete works?
hey wee john. hope you're well. was just wondering if you had any recordings of our show from spring semester. i've not heard it yet and would like a wee listen. how ws your summer? when you gettin married?

If you ever run into Doug Yeo of the Boston Pops, please tell him that Wayne from Texas said hello. I mastered his CD, "Take One" a few years ago! Nice guy.
