There has been some discussion regarding Al Gallodoro recently. Not only
is Al alive and well, it looks like he will be performing at
ClarinetFest '97 on the opening evening gala concert. We are in the
process finalizing his appearance which is being sponsored in part by
the Selmer Corporation. 1997 will be Al's 70th year of playing Selmer
clarinets. Amazing! He doesn't do Hora Staccato in public any more but
the opportunity to hear one of our most legendary performers will be
yours next summer.

Also, Peanuts Hucko will be performing on the same concert. As it turns
out, Al and Peanuts used to work together at ABC in New York in the
1930's. Both are still very active and performing all over the world.

Dates for ClarinetFest '97 are July 9-13, 1997 with all events taking
place at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas USA. Stay tuned to
KLARINET and THE CLARINET magazine for information and make plans to
come hear and meet these two and many more clarinet legends who will be
performing. Happy holidays!!! BOB
