Amazing Grace, Carnival of Venice (Rolf), and Russian Dance from Nutcracker (wow!).

Rolf was having a few problems. Great stuff, but man, it's a shadow of the quintet from the early -mid 80s---Charlie Lewis, Dave Ohanian, Sam Pilafian, Scott Hartmann (Norman Bolten before that, right?? or was there someone in between even?)

THAT was a quintet.

Yes, you're right they have gone down hill a bit, but are still great. Doug Wright (principal trombone minnesota orchestra), played in Empire for awhile, i don't remember the years.
