This mail was sent to me - I think it was intended for the list:

> time with them at the age of thirty. I resumed playing  with Burnage for a
> little while on tenor horn but after a while found it unsatisfying. I
> emigrated to Canada in 1974 and gave up playing for nearly twenty years,
> mainly because I was being frustrated with lip trouble. I am now sixty five
> and four years ago I started blowing again with a concert band. I changed my
> embouchure and now I feel I am blowing better than ever. With the aid of
> "Finale" a notation software I am now doing quite a lot of arranging for the
> concert band and also a fourteen piece dance band. The concert band, of
> course, is made up of woodwind as well as brass, but my first love is brass
> and the brass band, and living in Canada I feel starved of that magnificent
> sound.
