I talked with new NMA member Bob Kuhl an hour ago. This is his first reunion, and he wasn't sure what to expect. He hasn't played in a few years, was concerned that his chops wouldn't meet NMA standards, wondered whether he'd know anybody at the reunion.
Sound familiar?
I told Bob that I hadn't played in a decade before attending my first reunion. Then I introduced him to NMA president Terry Chesson, and within seconds they were talking about their experiences in the UNITAS band, places they'd played, shipmates they had in common.
Welcome aboard Bob and all first-time attendees. We're glad you're here.
