Bravo, Michael! I remember hearing you play the Brahms at Northwestern a few years ago, which is what inspired me to learn it on the bassoon. I found the interview very entertaining, too. It made me remember what it was like starting out on the audition circuit. Thanks for the podcast, Jason.

Sorry, Michael–I realized as I listened back that I had fumbled the Gunnelpumpers description and sort of melded it with talk about the Chicago Bass Ensemble. I’ll clarify and correct that on next week’s episode, and I’ll make sure to let people know that the bass/flute was Matt Golombisky and Doug Brush.

Jason,

Well, listening to myself was less humiliating than I imagined. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to be on the podcast. I need to make sure credit is given where it is due. The bass playing on the Gunnelpumpers track is Mat Golombisky (He might make a great guest for the podcast BTW) the flute is played by Doug Brush. The bass players in Gunnelpumpers are Doug Johnson, Mat Golombisky and myself.

Thanks, and keep up the great work.
