Jim,

I absolutely agree. I have recorded one interview with him (that I hope to
make the time to transcribe sometime this year). I will try to do more, but
I have many other equally worthy projects going on right now.

I have been able to locate and preserve all his major commercial recordings
(and a few unreleased recordings). This includes the amazing transcription
of the Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto played on Clarinet with Clarinet Choir
accompaniment. I have managed to contact the current owner of the Golden
Crest Records and hope to be able to work out a deal to re-release this
recording.
