It is quite interesting.<br /><br />I am interested further, because my father was a flutist/piccolo player. He played in Pittsburgh Symphony in the 40s under Fritz Reiner and then moved to NY where he free-lanced in the radio/TV orchestras and did recording dates. He eventually ended up playing in Radio City for 20+ years.<br /><br />I know that he played for CBS and NBC (summer concerts, I think).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165651667636271613.post-1772226829632686572014-08-16T10:17:19.044-07:002014-08-16T10:17:19.044-07:00Thank you, this is helpful.

Also would you have general knowledge of where Desto was located and the years of operation? Thank you so much and I appreciate your time. regardsHayai2Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15972438228751018589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1165651667636271613.post-62925419972055990702014-08-16T06:46:08.646-07:002014-08-16T06:46:08.646-07:00Rob is my first cousin.

Judith and my mother Rebecca were sisters. I remember Horace clearly. I have planned to hunt down some of his records, as I was quite fond of listening to them as a child; they were wonderful. Many have since been lost.<BR/><BR/>I had no awareness of my uncle's political activities; that came as a complete surprise. I knew him simply as "Uncle Horace," a funny man who loved to entertain us with jokes and stories.<BR/><BR/>Judith was an accomplished pianist, as well as an amazing artist.<BR/><BR/>I could go on much longer, but it is late. It is great to see that both Horace and Judith are alive on the web.Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506865243085650463noreply@blogger.com
