Howdy Ralph,
Thanks for the kind words and the welcome back
What little bit of composition and arranging I've ever done has given me a great respect for those (like yourself and others here) who can take a huge band and make it all work well. Getting such a compliment that "it makes you feel like..." is huge to me, because I think music offers a very rich vocabulary for such evocations. Thanks
ttfn,
Sherry
