"Had three wonderful concerts with the Wichita Symphony performing the  
Villa-Lobos Harmonica Concerto plus Sir George Martins's "Three 
American  Sketches" for Harmonica and String Orchestra.  All three were 
almost  sold out with 2200 plus people at them.  Good Orchestra with 
Andrew  Sewell conducting.

I have been getting some nice emails from George  Martin thanking me for 
performing his work; I hope to record it soon.   It would be nice to 
have a "British Invasion" recording of the Martin with  the Arthur 
Benjamin Harmonica Concerto and the Vaughan  Williams  Romance along 
with the Malcom Arnold Harmonica Concerto.

After  Sundays performance Maestro Sewell and I went to the local blues 
bar and  joined Kirk Sorensen for the Sunday evening jam.  Kirk played 
some nice  blues on his CX12.  I stuck to my Filisko Marine Bands - a 
lot of fun  to play "Walkin' Blues" after playing a Harmonica  
Concerto!!!
Harmonically yours,
Robert Bonfiglio"
 
........How wonderful, Robert!  Congratulations!  Would love  to hear it when 
it's recorded.   Now when are we going to get to  hear a CD of your playing 
some Blues on those Filisko Marine Bands?
