Kazakhstan is on many people’s minds these days thanks to Borat. I just saw this movie and never laughed so hard. Here’s the trailer for those of you that haven’t seen it yet:________________________

While browsing around Wikipedia Commons recently I found this beautiful picture of Kaindy lake in Kazakhstan. According to Wikipedia, the [...]

I love these two shots I took 10 years ago in Hamburg at their Musikhalle. Here is the audience entrance:
(That’s Burak in the blue sweater. Read my Burak dancing story here).
Here is the stage door for this hall (right next to the audience entrance):

I know that a hall needs a stage [...]

I have crates of old photos from various trips I have made in the past. Putting together my recent story on Burak prompted me to scan in a set of photos from my Schleswig-Holstein Musik Festival trip, and I thought I’d share some more of these shots. These were all taken with [...]

Believe it or not, the Civic Orchestra of Chicago used to advertise in Time magazine. Here is an ad from 1998 featuring the bass section. I am the second player from the right. One of my favorite things about this picture is the obvious empty stool in the middle of [...]

I’m [...]

My fiancee Courtney and I spent all of Monday walking around Lincoln Park in Chicago. Here are a few shots of our walk.
This is the Lincoln Park Conservatory. This great building was completed in 1895, and you can definitely tell its age up close. It has four large halls and [...]

Here are a few final shots of the Music by the Lake concert series that I did this past wekend. I will be up in Williams Bay, WI again in two weeks to play with the Three Irish Tenors.
Here you can see the extreme slope of this campus. The golf carts were for [...]
