Today is the day Kelly Thomas and I play the Double Concerto for Euphonium and Tuba by James Grant with the Polizeiorchester Bayern, Johann Mösenbichler, conductor.  It went extremely well.  The entire concert is posted in my Live Recordings section.  Below, the first pictures were taken late Monday evening after the “Welcome to Austria” concert during the ITEC dinner that followed.  I spent some time with Stacy Baker and Gail Robinson also.  They will be playing the Double Concerto in October!

For dinner tonight, I had the fine company of Jerry and Barbara Young and later Brian Bowman at a beer garden.  The food was delicious and the good company was fabulous.
