I viewed part of this months back Michael, it was a pleasure chatting with you and again, thanks for the suggestions, very melodic and accessible music. For the more obscure, I have been listening to Popol Vul and Amon Duul out of Germany circa early 70s ( Electronic experimental prog ). 🎵.

We are really going to miss you, but it's all such an exciting life change. Some great stuff here. Excellent Testament pick-ups. I love all the Schuricht Bruckner. (BTW I got the Jochum EMI complete set - have yet to listen). Thanks for the shout-out on the Bernard Herrmann - as a wind player I imagine you appreciate his wonderful, wacky wind orchestrations. I adore the Gulliver' suite. Sensational sound. Cool pick-up on the New Order. I have that and a few of the other 12ins from that album, plus the original LP release. Their last truly great album IMO. See you on the other side.....

Hey Michael - a hearty congratulations to you on your choice to join the service and PLAY!! There aren't too many opportunities for an oboist to career it and the armed forces gives you such an opportunity. What could be better for one who wants to perform (as you know, not all musicians want to go that route)? So wonderful move. We know a young woman who played with my son in high school ensembles. She is a harpist and a very fine one. She went to Boston University for applied music and then joined Air Force (I think? There was about .5 orchestral harpists openings in the US after she graduated. You know the drill. ). She loves it - plays all the time, in many different contexts, and even found her soul mate - another professional musician in the AF. I will miss your presence and intelligent appraisals on the VC channels that you contribute to - and will particularly miss your take on the DG original source vinyl records as they are released. Good luck - rock on.

Congratulations Michael! A question and a comment. Were you required to audition for your new oboe position? My comment is that the repetoire that you will be playing will likely be quite a bit different than that you played in Tucson. There is brilliant and really good music written and arranged specifically for symphonic band, quite challenging as well. By the way there are not enough good band recordings out there. All the best. Look forward to your reviews on The Absolute Sound.

So the “Air Force Academy Band” is a unit that contains classical jazz and pop musicians. I’ll be performing with the Concert Band as well as the Academy Winds and the Rampart Winds.
Congratulations Michael! A question and a comment. Were you required to audition for your new oboe position? My comment is that the repetoire that you will be playing will likely be quite a bit different than that you played in Tucson. There is brilliant and really good music written and arranged specifically for symphonic band, quite challenging as well. By the way there are not enough good band recordings out there. All the best. Look forward to your reviews on The Absolute Sound.

US Military premier band auditions are carried out in an almost identical fashion to US orchestral auditions. Yes wind band repertoire is very different from orchestral repertoire, but most wind players are trained with a healthy dose of both.
Life takes strange turns. I hope it takes you to happy places. We will miss your wisdom until life settles down once again.
congrats michael, awesome opportunity. you’ll def be missed, looking forward to your return.
Congratulations.
Congratulations
This is a big loss for the community, who are going to be deprived of your incisive, and well delivered commentaries. I was actually waiting for your review of the recent releases from Deutsche Grammophon, more so the Hector Berlioz’s Symphony fantastic. I have bought the last batch in any case and will be waiting for your review, when it happens. Good luck in your career and wish you well.

I’ll be playing in the Air Force Academy Band. Both the Academy band and the DC Air Force Band are “premier bands” in the US military, which means they carry the same rank and status alongside other branches bands such as the West Point band, presidents own marine band, coast guard band, etc
Good luck with your new life. Are you prepared to have your haircut for basic training?
