Hello All -

Disclaimer - I work for Leblanc . . .

Yesterday we had Julian at the woodwind center in Elkhart where he did a quick concert for the staff.

I know my daughter will be skipping out of her classes at the studio at Western Michigan U to see Julian playing tomorrow in East Lansing at MSU. Her professor, Brad Wong, suggested it would be a good idea for her to attend, so she has his blessing. :) I envy her, as I would love to hear Julian, even in a master class environment.

Julian seems to make pretty frequent visits to the Leblanc factory and Backun shop... I missed the chance to meet him when he was at Morrie's during Summer. At late August however, I had a chance to see Morrie in that promotional event that Tom Lee and Conn Selmer hosted there.

EDIT: Scott, were you the Conn-Selmer rep. that was present?

We bring Julian in whenver we can and since he is touring the US right now, it was convenient. I regret it wasn't me in Vancouver last August. I was there in July and again in October. You likely met Brian Engstrom. He is our sales manager for Canada (fine saxophone player as well!).

Very cool. I did my undergrad with Brad at WMU. Great teacher!

I'm sure your daughter will enjoy the class. We tried to get Julian into Western but schedules didn't work out.

Julian is starting to seem more like a traveling salesman than a performer....

The irony is strong in that comment... yet...
the same could be said ultimately of any traveling performer, for they must peddle themselves and their music.
