At 9:31pm on January 4, 2009, Kiku Collins said…: Bruce, thanks so much! I don't happen along this site a lot, but glad to receive your nice post! As for the dancing, well, it took and still takes a lot of retraining from sitting down in orchestras most of my training, but so freeing and so much fun when it comes together! And sometimes there is first aid close by, at least oxygen tanks in high altitudes (no, I'm not kidding!)

I use an Amati short valve bone, it's a great doubler, keyed in Bb and light enough to play with one hand if switching fast! The pocket is a no name... my repair man Josh picked it up in China for me and it plays amazingly well! You should definitley hit Josh up for repair work, he has done wonders and I don't trust anyone else now.

I'd love to chat about photos, I have several photographers I've used, but only one I have stuck to all these years. When he's not around and something needs to be done, you never know! Or if you have a fun project for both of our books...

As for mouthpieces, I'm a Loud girl. I use their pieces on trumpet, trombone and flugel. But thanks for the suggestion. :) And happy new year, nice to meet you!
