| Alex,
Thank you for your greetings and welcome. I agree that it's not really fair to have a private language here, but don't sell yourself short -- your Nederlandse seems awfully good to me!
I was principal trumpet in the Rotterdam Philharmonic from 1986 - 1992 and taught at the Rotterdams Conservatorium from 1987 - 1997 (the last 5 years commuting from the house that we built in New Hampshire; a reoccurring theme in my life for those paying close attention--see London, Los Angeles and, starting next month, Montreal).
What are you doing in Belgium?
Best,
EC |
