[il-talk] had first rehearsal with the symphony

[David Meyer]

	What a wonderful feeling that must have been to successfully complete the first rehearsal with a symphony orchestra. There is a Chicago Chapter meeting on March 10. Perhaps several of us could take a trip a bit West. It would be fun.

That is fantastic news.  Its always great to hear that a musician is able to share their talent with others.  As a guitar player, I know how much fun I have when I get to play for others.  I am so looking forward to my new martin guitar that I'll be hopefully picking up in a couple weeks.  Keep up the great work.  I wonder how a chello would sound accompanying an old fashioned country song played on the guitar.
I think the fiddle always sounds great during a country song.  Good luck at your concerts.
