Heard you do this with Tom Garvin one night at The Baked Potato many years ago and it still is in my head! :-)

(in response to the description) Its amazing how much influence the student can have over the teacher.

Man, that piano player is very sensitive. Does he know any good jokes?

[raypizzi]

..... Yes he is a great pianist and I enjoy working with him. Does he know any good jokes ??? No, he keeps trying to rewrite mine.

A beautifully soulful tribute to a beautifully soulful man.

I have your bssn/pno sheet music to have my intermediate students perform. It is fairly easy to play and gives them an opportunity to play a seriously beautiful melody at their intermediate age level. You don't find this kind of melodic strength in many intermediate books. Thanks Ray, for your dedication to giving bassoonists of all ages a chance to experience music at another level.

....Geez, a 5* comment....Thank You.

BTW...
