Hello R flat, Well, at least that is what I first thought when I saw you MySpace page. I have now figured out R flat actually stands for Raven Brass. / I think your music sounds great. If you don't mind I would also like to say that I attended SHSU back in the day when Old Main was an actual building and the instrumental music department was in Music One... in the day of Fisher Tull, Ralph Mills, Bob Morgan and David Waters - just to name a few of the excellent musicians teaching at SHSU at the time. In hearing your music I am glad to see that excellence is still part of the Sam Houston State University Music Department. Thanks for being a MySpace friend of mine. Jim
