Hi Robert, Nice to visit your site...My grandfather's name was Robert Ellis Nunez, and my uncle, Robert Jr.,still resides in St. Bernard Parish. My Mom, Vivian Nunez Acosta, played the clarinet in high school; my son, Kris, played the trombone at LSU. I moved to Nashville after my divorce, and I play guitar and am a songwriter. I think I see now where all of the musical talent in my family comes from...the Nunez family. Could we be related? Nancy Acosta

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
