WHAT A CONCERT!!!! Had a superb show tonight
with quite the surprise when
Pete Huttlinger came out after the intermission. And he not only came out, but he played the entire second half of the concert, including a few solos. But even before that it was a super show. The performers had great energy and it carried into the audience. They had 3 recordings of John Denver singing which was also a nice touch.
Pete even came to the after party where I got this picture with him. He also said he plans to resume work on
McGuire's Landing (his major music project before he got sick) soon. He sure is a trooper. He has a heart pump with an external power pack, but besides that he is gaining weight and back to "Living Life".
I also had a chance to "talk flute" with Jim Horn at the after party so Mary snapped this picture. Alto flute, d-flat piccolos, Sousa marches, stuff like that. Very cool! He also said how he surprised John Denver by playing a soprano sax on a flute part one day and John liked it so it became a part of the show.
Overall a very great night!

FAR OUT!!! Loved the pictures of you with Pete and Jim!! How cool is that! Sounds like an amazing concert as well as fun at the after party too.
So glad Pete has improved enough to handle the high altitude in Aspen!
Keep having fun for all of us!
