A few pics from the Road

August 4, 2013 By Robert Owen

My last gig with the Symphony of The Mountains was a doosie!  We were quite busy!  Three outdoor Concerts, in three days, in three states!   Although it required quite a bit of driving, it was still pretty fun. The concert was long and  made more difficult by the fact that each outdoor venue was majorly different.  It was worth it none the less. I was able to get some work done for my day job. You remember, slaving away for the man?! But, I was also able to get some time to take a few … [Read more...]

The Show

January 24, 2013 By Robert Owen

A year or so ago, I was playing a recording session and the engineer hired a Quintet of us to record an extra piece.   At the time, he said it was for a singer's new album.  This past summer, I was playing a session with the same recording engineer and he gave me and my comrades each a copy of the DVD and then showed us the video.  I thought it was pretty cool and have since found it on the "YouTubes". So, check it out and see what you think.  You'll have to listen hard for me, I'm the Horn … [Read more...]

Help The KSO!

May 1, 2009 By Robert Owen

I just got this note in my e-mail from the KSO fan group on Facebook: from the KSO Executive Director, Rachel Ford: The KSO needs your help. We are mobilizing in an effort to support restoring the KSO’s County Grant funding.
