I think there are great rewards in both performing and teaching, and it's worth doing some of each. @<a href="http://www.musicianwages.com/" rel="nofollow">David</a>: Thanks for including me, even though I came late to the party! @<a href="http://www.paulhansonmusic.com/" rel="nofollow">Paul</a>: Thanks for stopping by!

There are a few other jazz bassoon players that started before me-Ray Pizzi and the guy (whose name I can't remember) who played in the Australian Jazz Quartet in the 1950's. I really do appreciate the mention! I'm adding my website to your blog roll. This site is pretty fascinating-say hi to Ben Kono if you see him-I remember him from Ithaca IDRS in 2007! thanks again-Paul Hello Bret Pimentel-thank you very much for listing me there on your history of bassoon website!

I enjoyed your post and the bit about weight at the end really made me giggle! It's also refreshing to come across a musician in academia. I wonder whether too much emphasis is put on performance during training and not enough in exploring other potential musical careers which are just as rewarding. Happy to have found you!
