Tonight, and earlier today, I played with the New Mexico Symphony Orchestra for the first time ever. It was a sureal experience, one that I had expected to happen, yet not in the manner in which it did. I recieved a phone call last night at around 9pm from Mark, the personel manager: "Robin, can you play a concert tomorrow night? Rehersal is at 10am." "Yes." There is no other answer when the big boys call. I will play. Stop everything else and play. The rehearsal and the concert went great, and all the members of the orchestra were very supportive. Derek Develder, my stand partner and the guy who recommended me, graciously introduced me into the NMSO bass section practicing the ancient art of coyote teaching: one dog helps another one along. I owe you Derek! Jean Luc, the principle was pleased with my playing and said he would have me back.

Welcome to Tuxedoland, Lowboy. What was the program for your debut? Were there any arpeggiated two octave chords at MM160?
