In the three years during which I have been a "Buffet Artist", I have never
been paid. In fact, since Buffet/Boosey & Hawkes moved to California,
released Phyllis Williams (the person who managed the artists) and
instigated Francois Kloc to replace her for woodwind artists, I have not
receive any communications regarding my status. My communications with FK
at the OK Symposium were limited to shaking my hand at David Neithamer's
recital - he didn't have time otherwise. I have begun to assume that,
given the state of affairs regarding the rumors surrounding the Boosey &
Hawkes line, I may not be a Buffet Artist for long - along with many others
who are designated as such.

Bill - this is one area you don't know what you are saying.

For the record - I have played Buffet since I was 14 years old. I like the
horn. Period. If I like another, I will move to that horn. Comprehende'??

Best wishes,
Roger Garrett
