[Harp-L] Michael P, San Diego, Holiday Season....

["Rob Paparozzi" <chromboy@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I Just got off the phone with Robert Bonfiglio who asked me to send his 
Condloences here as they last spent time at the Garden State Festival just 
weeks ago. He thought highly of our friend Michael Polesky and cherished 
their freindship over the years and is saddened deeply as we all our. Love 
and blessings to his Wife and Little Girl.

Robert B has just got back from Germany, he was getting ready to have 
Thanksgiving with his family when he got an 11th hour phone call from an 
Orchestra that was all set to perform "The Villa Lobos Harmonica Concerto" 
this past Saturday but the soloist came down sick. The concert was hit,  but 
the Turkey was cold and had to be heated up upon his return back to the 
States,-)

The week before hie performed with "The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra" playing 
Gershwin classics.......the guy gets around!

On another note:

I did post this last month but thought I'd post it here one more time before 
the holidays so people can plan ahead...we've been having some FUN at these 
workshops and our next town looks like it could be the Frisco Bay area so 
stay tuned...

These workshops are a terrific way to "bust the rut" in your practicing and 
playing and bring your playing to newer levels with all kinds of tips and 
exercises, handouts and "hands on" teaching and playing. Info on the next 
workshop in San Diego are below. We haven't yet picked our venue as we'll 
need to see the size of the class first and pick the space accordingly.

Holiday Wishes,
Rob Paparozzi
