He is 85 today!
He paints and conducts too:

Thanks to Thomas Meglioranza for alerting me to this birthday via his Facebook page.
I do hope they put more up! This is really wonderful! (I would like my students to note the half hole work … no “half hole hop”, no slide … just a nice clean pivot.)
PS Dan has a trio up at his site, too. 😉
Good night. P.S : I want a MacBook, Oboe and Cello 🙂
One man’s firewood is another man’s oboe talks about African blackwood. I’ve always called it grenadilla, some say mpingo (but I can’t pronounce that!), I’ve heard it called ebony, and from what I read here I guess it’s all one and the same. And it’s a threatened species.
