I have a huge favor to ask of Houston Texas area musicians. Last night The US Army Field Band Brass Quintets instruments were stolen. The police are investigating, and there is video surveillance, so I can't go into too much detail. I copied the info below. If you see any of these, please contact me or the police. I thank you in advance for your assistance

Scott,
Sounds like TUSAB 20-plus years ago, also in Texas. Hope they find the perps. John Taylor

Re: Stolen instruments in Houston TX
The perps obviously didn't know too much about music - who would steal an alto clarinet???

Then they'll come back and find their car FULL of alto clarinets...
Instead of talking to your plants, if you yelled at them would they still grow, but only to be troubled and insecure?

Re: Stolen instruments in Houston TX
You should probably post this also on the Trombone Forum, which has a large number of members in the Houston area.
Or I could do it for you.
