Dear Manny

Thanks to both you and Jack. I am looking into community playing with the Salvation Army in my area Unfortunatly my wife doesnt play piano but my Aunt who passed in 1998 was a great classical pianist who regularly performed with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. She was responsible for a lot of my training. (Ahhhh beautiful memories there.)

By the Way Manny, I'd like to hear some of your work. Any particular CD's you are promoting right now?

Thanks

Sincerely Rick AKA Trumpet Man

Does your wife play piano? Maybe you could get a collection of solos and just learn them for fun. Playing with a piano is just about the best thing for your playing you can do. It straightens out time and intonation primarily.
