Thanks for sharing that story! I really feel like I know a little bit more about each of these players every time you think to post something. Great stuff!
I tried to contact Darryl Bayer (from TPIN) who lives in Texas and has been studying with Dominick DeGangi. I haven’t heard back from him though. Apparently there was a nice article in the paper about Mr. DeGangi and I was hoping to add details to his bio in the trumpet rosters project. This is all that I currently have for him in the
Baltimore Player Bios folder.
If you happen to talk with him again, could you mention that it would be nice to have a more complete bio if he could provide one?
Thanks,
Derek
P.S. Erich Traugott was in between James Burke and Dominick DeGangi in Baltimore.
