He is the guy who did the alto saxophone solo arrangement of "Tribute to
Rudy Wiedoeft" that I am working on and hope to perform with the Bay
Concert Band sometime this season. It is really not much more than a
direct transcription from three of Wiedoeft's recordings (which I have),
but it is fun and challenging material. Unlike him, I expect to miss a
note or two.

If you have to mic a saxophone, the rest of the band is TOO LOUD!
