Steph and I playing very drunken duets...

Steph and I playing very drunken duets...

Well I’ve put my first blog post off as long as I can. It seems like a lot of work looming ahead. My plan is to write about once a week. Usually I will write about trumpet stuff, but from time to time the subject may vary a bit. I hope to get some feedback, or even some questions that will help me come up with topics too write about. I guess we’ll see how it goes?

The first one is easy for me. I have some people to thank and I think this is the perfect place to do it.

First, I have to thank the web designers Joseph and Stephanie Lavoie of Corktown Design. They have put in a ton of time and have been very patient with my endless questions and e-mails. I have known Stephanie for years and I can tell you she is a wonderful trumpet player.

Second, I also would like to thank a wonderful new company, Lipstick Productions. They have done a great job on my bios and other public relations materials.

And last, but certainly not least, I have to thank my wife Danielle. She’s sleeping on the couch next to me right now while I watch college football and write this. She’s very supportive and also extremely cute!

Thanks for reading this. The next few posts will be about trumpet stuff. I hope you all enjoy the site. Let me know if you have any questions or comments. I look forward to hearing from you.

Best,
Andrew

    Hey Andrew,

    The sight looks amazing. You and your team did a great job. You should be really proud of it. I am.

    P.S. See you tonight on the couch for football and a nap.

    This is a great site, Andrew – no kidding! It’s totally creative and personal and so different from all the lousy usual. Gives me a strange good feeling about cyberspace…
    Also, Ainsley and I were unexpectedly sorta blown away by the 3rd movement of the Vaughan Williams piece last Wednesday. Neither of us had heard it before. We unanimously figured you brass boys for the highlite of the show! Great job and thanks.

    Hey Andrew! The site looks great, well done Steph and Joseph! It looks like I’m going to be able to make it out to Toronto to hear the premiere of the Tovey, I’m really looking forward to it!

    Hi all,
    Thanks for all the great feedback! I have had a lot of responses directly to e-mail as well and I really appreciate it. I will be posting a new blog in the next few days, and the masterclass reviews should be going up soon also.
    Best,
    Andrew
