  • Great podcast

    I really enjoyed all of the stories in your interview with Dave Kreibel. I also enjoyed the recordings at the end especially after his explanations 😊. I played that same Reicha trio in high school with Phil Myers and Ed Aunins for our solo and ensemble contest in Elkhart. We played the same trio two years in a row and just switched parts! (And got a first place both times). Of course Phil played first both times!
