Neil Leupold noted of Julius Baker the flute dude:

<<<His level of virtuosity is second to none. This sentiment has been shared
by the great conductors of our time-Leonard Bernstein, Fritz Reiner, Bruno
Walter and Leopold Stokowski all selected Julius Baker to grace the solo
chair of their
respective orchestras. . . .Cleveland Orchestra under Artur Rodzinski . . .
Pittsburgh Symphony under Fritz Reiner. . . . solo flutist of the Columbia
Broadcasting Symphony Orchestra in New York City . . . . Bach Aria Group . .
. . solo flutist to the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. . . .Solo flute position
with the New York Philharmonic, where he remained until 1983.>>>

. . . so what you're telling us is that this guy's a loser who couldn't hold
a job?

<<<He is on the faculties of the Julliard School and The Curtis Institute of
Music - his alma mater. >>>

So those gigs didn't pay enough, and he had to teach on the side. Guess it
shows again that those who can't do, teach!

Given all that -- who's Zoon?
