I don't understand why Americans especially are that critical of his tone as he blows all American players out the water, even at a fantastic age of 81. Open your ears as there's loads more to oboe playing that's found outside the US border wall.

He is and will always be my biggest influence and I owe him a massive debt of gratitude.

I bet they're having a meltdown over on the IDRS Facebook page because he's not wearing one of those stupid masks with a hole in it or a bell cover.
