Tokyo Kosei

I’ve just returned home from a trip to the University of Kansas and Lousiana State University. There will be a photo entry soon — probably tomorrow — but first I need to catch up on email. I did receive an exciting thing today — a CD of the Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra’s recent performance of “Redline Tango.” It’s kind of astonishing — the sax solo in particular. Lordy lordy, that’s a hell of a band. I posted it on the “Redline Tango” page, if anybody wants to check it out.

See you tomorow with a real update!

    I am the mother of a student at LSU and attended the concert with him for his music class. I wanted to say that I love your work. I heard it for the first time on Tuesday at LSU and will be listening to you on line every chance I get.
    You have a wonderful gift. Keep up the great work.
