I have not touched my French Horn in about 15 years. I do, however, play the piano daily, and still take lessons! It is one of the best stress relievers!

I kept playing in the college band at Notre Dame. My last two gigs in college occurred in 1979: marched in a football game played in Tokyo, and played in a number of concerts there. Our band, along with the Miami University band, accompanied Sadeo Watanabe (jazz saxophonist) in a marching band/jazz concert at a baseball stadium in Tokyo. It was fun! I was selected, along with some other seniors, to play on the Japanese version of the Tonight Show; that evening I met, and got to talk to George Lucas, of Star Wars fame. Lucas was another guest on the show. My last gig was a college basketball game in December 1979 (ND vs. UCLA), with the pep band that always played at the games. AFter the basketball game, I never played my horn again. NOt because I didn't want to, but rather because the opportunity never presented itself.

The most recent time I touched and actually played my clarinet was for a college band reunion in October 2002. My children were shocked/stunned/whatever that I could "play" the clarinet.
