Congratulations to your son for taking such leaps and you for not turning
over the Klarinet to someone else and moving to Japan. I'm sure we'll hear
more of him. Conducting the Tokyo Philharmonic is no small "gig."

As some of you old-timers know, I got involved with this list by asking a
few questions to help my son out when he was in middle school, some few
years back (like the end of 1995 ... I have no idea where the time went!)

In that intervening time he went to Interlochen for clarinet, got his
Bachelors degree in clarinet performance at Cleveland Institute for Music,
moved to Japan to teach & perform, got interested in conducting, got his
Masters degree at the Tokyo Gedai in conducting, and decided to pursue conducting
as a career. He's been working his way along, working with and conducting
various regional orchestras and opera companies, and is principal conductor
of one of these, the Edogawa Orchestra in Tokyo.

This coming week is his first big-time conducting gig. He'll be conducting
the Tokyo Philharmonic on a regional tour in Shizuoka, Japan on
Tuesday-Thursday of this coming week. He's worked hard, and I'm pretty proud of him.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
