One of my favorite oboists does it again! I’ve already listened to this recording and I just love it.

I miss my friend Mike Adduci SO much. Our loss was certainly Tennessee’s gain. I love at least getting to enjoy his oboe playing via YouTube, though. Bravo Mike … and your colleagues Mary and Paul also!
