I like the biplanes, ... They don't have (cockpit) coverings. They're just out in the open.

The rhetoric was not there in the way it has been in the past, but we're still looking at a hike in March.

They were touring this year with a clarinetist, so I sent it to them, ... They agreed to do it.

I actually sent them the piece, which they considered last year but didn't have enough time (to rehearse),

It was a fun experience and it went quite well,

I waited and waited for a year and a half for them to announce who won, ... Jim Jeffords' office had to get involved. But, once they did select me, things worked a lot more smoothly.
