That's one of my lesser accomplishments. Played American Ballet Theater, Martha Graham, etc at Lincoln Center. Subbed with the Metropolitan Opera, played with many groups at Carnegie Hall and recorded most of the commercials and some of the movies from the 90's. Concerts with Ray Charles, Tony Bennett [he hugged me and gave me a solo bow] Ella Fitzgerald also hugged me. Those are some of the highlights from my heart. Don't "toot my horn" much, but you seem interested.
You Toot that horn all you want, folks have the option to read or move on. My interest comes from not being able to carry a tune in a bucket and have never picked up a musical instrument, but in admiration of folks like you that can.
Quite impressive group of entertainers you have encountered in your profession and the respect they bestowed upon you shows their first-class demeanor is commendable.
