Thanks to Roger Hecht and Bernard Chasan for trying to allay my
[list-based] fears about the BSO. (You all are a bad influence...)
Rest assured I am extrordinarily excited about coming Boston.

No, I won't...right now (only if asked). Out here in la-la-land there's
such a dearth of players I usually get away with playing 3rd trombone on my
horn. Imagine! I even played the horn part in the Brahms horn trio once,
back when I had some range.
