When I visited Keith in January, I found a CD of this piece, recorded by the Walnut Creek Concert Band. When we tried to play it, we found that it was blank. Keith contacted Harvey Benstein, the conductor, who also found that his CD was blank. A couple of months later, Jan Schmedinghoff, a clarinetist with the Walnut Creek Concert Band wrote in the guest book that she had a CD of this concert. I immediately wrote to her and asked her to check it. She wrote back to inform me that her it was blank, as well. However, she had transferred it to her
computer before it went bad. Thus, she was able to make a new CD for me and this is why I am able to share this recording
with you. Thanks, Jan!
