@orichalcum1 Haha! Small world, ain't it? I'm hoping to get a quintet going with Ola et al this year, he's a great player. I did see your Corus Brass videos, good stuff! I've depped in rehearsals a couple of times for them (once on 1st, NOT expecting to be handed a picc for Candide Overture - swines!!)
