Fire me twice!
I played in his Octet.
We would play for one minute, he would talk for 10 minutes, telling us all that we were doing wrong.
He was a prolific arranger, taught at a college in Washington State.
He was a regular at the Finale Forum.
A real Curmudgeon!
He played SO light, I never really cared for his playing.
He had a Rep for being hard to work with, very opinionated.
( NOT like us....)!
