What a great picture of the two of you! One (well, two . . .) of my heroes - Tanglewood 63, Apocalypse, Paprika Plains, Seven Songs, Only Chrome Waterfall Orchestra, Big Music, et al. Wonderful wonderful composer and arranger, and kudos to Birmingham Conservatoire

I should add that as a one time tuba (Eflat) player I had known about Symphony for Organ and Six Tubas, but of course I had never witnessed it - its only previous performance was just before my third birthday in 1965.
I felt so happy listening at last to it tonight - but the whole prog was genius.
