Karl Miller caused my long ears to prick up on two counts in his last
post.  His mention of Easley Blackwood took me back more than fifty years
when as a grad student I was playing in the music school orchestra.  We
played a work by Blackwood that I thought was really fine.  In fact I
probably stole things from it in my student compositions at the time.
Whatever happened to Blackwood?  I have heard nothing of his all these
years.

Now what about the Miller oboe concerto?  I would like to hear it.  Is
it available somewhere?

KM invites opinions about the compositions of Segerstam.  I greatly
admire Segerstams's recordings of Mahler, but I have to say that his own
compositions strike me as pathetic indulgences.  OK...  it's an opinion
already!
