We (meaning myself and all of you who in this adventure with me by association..) are in some beautiful New York town today. There's a lot o do today to bring this to THE MOMENT that we've been hiking to. It's all looking good. I just need to keep the steps orderly and make sure everything gets done that needs to be. Tomorrow morning I will meet with Kathy Swekel,the exc director of the Metropolatin Symphony and James Burton the arrangement director. I need o walk in with music scores in hand so we can go over parts and discuss whatever it is symphony director people discuss over coffee before a Carnegie gig. Bottom line here...Ivan...if you're out there..I need to speak with you asap...email, etc is okay, just so I can get all this wrapped up and ready...it's your show too now, you know... !! wow. I also want to make sure it's okay with you, that part of my intro to this song at Carnegie, will be a credit to you (where I say your name) for the arrangement.. If you're around, please post or email me...thanks.
