It had been over twenty years since I saw Richard and Jim, so what a thrill it was to find that the love and joy we’ve always felt in one another’s company hadn’t diminished one iota over the years!
They live near Guerneville and this time Ramesha and I managed to schedule a visit while we’re here.
We go way back to my freelance flutist days in San Francisco — Jim played piccolo with the SF Opera and Richard was the driving force behind The Flute Exchange, a flute quintet with which we performed and recorded through much of the late 80’s and throughout the 90’s.
Gosh, we had a lot of fun and we made some glorious music.
