Hi Everyone! Could use some help planning a road trip. In late April, I am travelling over a couple days from Albany, NY to Greenville, SC. I've looked at a couple stops, such as Baltimore Brass, and Tuba Exchange/Simonetti Tuba Museum in Durham. Any other stops I can't miss on my way down?

I used to know Dr. Utley. He was a heart surgeon in Spartanburg, which is 30 minutes north of Greenville and I was told that at one time he was on the short list to operate on POTUS if the need arose. When I moved back here in 89, I played in several groups with him. He passed away some years ago, but his wife, who was also a physician, was a great supporter of the arts here for many years until she also passed away recently. Enjoy Greenville. There is a lot to do there.

Mack Brass is about 3 hrs south of Baltimore Brass and 2 hours north of tuba exchange. Just give us a call about a day or two before you arrive so we can set up a time and day as well as make sure we have in stock what you looking for.
