Great trip to NC for 10 days. I played in the Brevard College Wind Ensemble, played a prelude and post lude at Don's church, subbed in his quintet for a rehearsal, rehearsed and performed in our arrnaged brass Festival at Mom's church (Brevard-Davidson River P.C.), with great help from 13 other brass players, Charlie Steele, the organist, and Jamie Haffner who conducted. I read trios with Don and tim Bryson, accompaning Sylvia, diva of divas, and got to play a master class at Furman University. I also travelled to Triple Falls, High Falls, Hooker Falls, and with the generous help of Tom English, got to Maidenhair Falls for the first time in probably 20 or even 30 years. Here are a few photos. In order, they are:
