Thanks Glen. What a good experience that was! Not a flawless solo on my part, but I was very happy with it for first time at bat as a soloist since 1984, and it was a thrill and an honor to play in front of the band. The musicianship and spirit of the band are both very high. And Roger Thorne has done a tremendous thing for baritone players with that piece - it's just a really high-quality brass band work - nice work throughout the band, good listening for the audience.

Nothing forces you to improve like the pressure of a solo! Hope to do it again sometime.

Thanks again for your words.

Nice to see a few other PBB'ers here on TubeNet. It is my honor to play with you. Excellent concert.
