PROGRAM NOTES
About a year ago, Ron Blessinger approached me about doing a flute show for 45th Parallel. I immediately said yes without giving it too much thought, but a day later I wanted to know what exactly he meant. Were we talking about a cute program with flute choir tunes, or something with edge and bite? Definitely edge and bite, he responded.
