As a clarinetist and music educator in Albuquerque, it does me heart
good to hear you say such good things about Santa Fe and
Albuquerque. Thank you for the compliments! You are right that
there is not much work for pro's, but what performances there are,
are of excellent quality. Dr Lemmons is the clarinet professor at
the University of New Mexico and has a wonderful warm and round tone,
which I like very much. Lori Lovato, clarinetist with the NMSO is
another top NM clarinetist.

THanks again for your kind comments about NM
