He was a very nice guy. I got him to sign my copy of the Biogrpahy of PDQ Bach.
He WILL be missed.
He grew up in Fargo, ND. About two blocks from the home where I grew up. My wife and I visited him after a performance at the University of Maine, Orono.
“New Horizons in Music Appreciation” Play by play of Beethoven’s 5th. Laughed until I cried
Enjoyed playing his work in junior high and high school concert bands!
