Nauders, Austria
Wattens, Austria
Wolkenstein, Italy

All 3 places are obscenely beautiful, and hardly seem like they exist on the same planet as New York. :) (And I love New York, I'm just sayin'!)

Bahrain with orchestra play Brahms Requiem. I out of the blue got email asking me to play all expenses paid and I initially thought it a wind-up.

I flew out with Eb tuba strapped into the seat beside me and was met at aurport and was guest of (I think) the US military attaché in his villa.

I have also spent many hours practicing in Nanning park while in China, but don't count that :)

2007, the year before I met my wife.

Not that it would stop me now. She is very tolerant of my tuba playing
