Bob, Hope all is well. Things going very well here. Orchestras here are better than you might think, and financially ok. Wanted to tell you that I work regularly with Sumner Erickson. A nice guy and a fine musician. And if he can get to the bigtime, so can you. Keep up the hard work. You will be rewarded. Regards, Mike Bucalo

Hey Robert, Just FYI, I was leaving an opera rehearsal in Austin the other night, and I saw Gerhardt Zimmerman leaving the hall. Turns out he is now director of orchestral studies at Univ of Texas Austin, in addition to Canton Oh Sym. and music festivals in summer. Great to see him. Hope all is well with you. Mike

Robert, It's good to see your site and that you are still with the Louisiana Philharmonic. I've been at the Univ of North Carolina - Greensboro since 2003. It have a strong music program (600 majors and 70 f/t faculty). You deserve good things.
