This recording was one of the first my undergrad teacher played for me
when I started with him in HS. Pretty impressive stuff to a 15 year old.

Imagine my surprise to visit some old friends in Oneonta NY and discover
that Gallodoro lives there, still plays in the community band, and is
*still* surrounded by good looking young women!

I've *got* to go practice those scales some more!
