More about that recording....

The Reynolds family had a long standing relationship with Mitchell. Michael
Reynolds is the cellist with Muir....Kathleen Reynolds is principle
bassoonist in the Dallas opera orchestra and is the Professor of bassoon at
UNT and Terry Reynolds plays 4th horn in the opera orchestra and is an
adjunct professor at UNT. Terry and I were roommates at North Texas many
years ago. The Reynolds family talked Mitchell into doing this recording and
it's good for us they did....

Michael Reynolds founded and owns EcoClassics. All proceeds from EcoClassic
recordings go to the benefit of "nature"....a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit.
