Hi all,

I just wanted to share the following with the List members:

As some of you may know, Nigel and Horne and his wife Sharon just returned
from a holiday in Canada and the States.  They made a point of stopping in
Ottawa to visit our band, The Maple Leaf Brass Band.  We had met Nigel about
five years earlier.

As well as having a good visit over a wet or two, we had a chance to
rehearse three of Nigel's arrangements that he brought with him.  The band
really appreciated the opportunity to play some new music and I know that
Nigel also appreciated the opportunity to have his music played.

Many arrangers/composers know how difficult it can be sometimes to have
their music played.  We have two band members who write for us regularly and
they have mentioned on a number of occasions how much they appreciate having
a band willing to play -- and perform -- their music.

I might mention that Nigel very generously donated his three arrangements to
our library.  On behalf of the Maple Leaf Brass Band, I would like to thank
Nigel for his generosity.  Nigel, you can be sure that Ottawa audiences will
be hearing your music.

Jim Gayfer
