HEY GANG.

The VYO master classes I mentioned are Nov 5th for trombone and Nov  
15th for bassoon. They are free to EVERYONE and ANYONE and are held at  
Saint Michael's Elley Long Center. I will definitely be attending one  
or both and am happy to organize car pooling if folks are interested.  
Perhaps I'll put up a sign up sheet on the NAfME (NAf you, I hardly  
know you!) board,
