R.A.W.

A friend sent this trailer to me today. Very interesting documentary about Richard A. White, who spent his boyhood homeless in Baltimore yet got his Doctorate in Tuba and now performs in NMexico Symphony. A cameo appearance by our own David Fedderley. I am going to research this more because it is certainly human interest. Does anyone here know of him?

Richard is a great guy and teacher. I got a chance to study some with him while attending IU, he was Mr. P's A.I. at the time. Glad to see his story is being shared, it is truly one of inspiration and determination. If you get the chance to talk with Richard, hear him play, or get a lesson with him, jump on it!

Looks cool. Having grown up in Baltimore, especially interesting.

My apologies if,in posting this link, I violated a rule. My sole intent was to share a very feel-good story. God knows we need some of those!
