I'll always remember the 5th of November, and the two days before it...
Well, my weekend tour with the Houston Symphony is over and I had a great time. It was an experience I won't soon forget. Last night was special because it was the last one and the best performance of the weekend for all involved. We got pictures with the low brass section and found out the marching band doctor (who was sitting front row center in Cougar Red)is good friends with Allen Barnhill, the HSO's principal trombone player who by the way, said to us "way to let'em have it" after the performance. Anyway, yesterday was also significant in the fact that it was Guy Fawkes day (as the subject of this entry indicates) and I just so happened to play the 1812 Overture that night. Good timing.
