I guess I can say that I played in the Albany Symphony.

Both my mother and my aunt were the flute section during the early fifties. My mother was pregnamt in 1954 - that was me!

Whattayathink, was I a member of the orchestra? Would they really care??

Naw... you were just in the audience "comp" seats!

How many services per season?
