Alan, do you know Jeff Flagg who played in the NG band in Austin about ten years ago? He may still. He played saxophone and oboe, and he and I shared a community orchestra in Austin for a while. Is Frank Simon still conducting that group? I also played in the Heritage Brass in Dallas with a fellow who was in that group for a while until sickness forced him to retire from it.

My recollections of the stories of others concerning that group is that it is just like any other job in some ways--those who are undeserving of promotion hold that promotion against those who are deserving and get it, though that happens rarely enough. Nothing new there. But Jeff is rather unconventional, so I expect if he could tolerate it and it could tolerate him, then it wasn't too difficult a situation, heh, heh.
