OK, this is a commercial post - if you don't like it, hit the delete key!

Bruce Nelson's new book, [b]Also sprach Arnold Jacobs [/b]has just arrived! 
Just opened the first case to arrive from Germany.

Bruce Nelson was the Bass Trombonist in Chicago'd Lyric Opera for many years 
before his retirement a few years back. He was a student of Mr Jacobs' from 
1968 and attended many masterclasses. He looked threough many Northwestern 
Masterclass tapes, which most of [b]Also sprach Arnold Jacobs [/b] is based 
on. There are two appendixes, the section that Mr. Jacobs wrote for the Hal 
Leonard method in the sixties which has been out of print for several years, 
is the first. The second is the directions for using breathing devices that 
is located on my web page.

This is a book that Bruce has worked on for a few years. I read the first 
draft on the way to Australia in 2004 and found it to be very accurate. I 
can't wait to read the final draft. It even has a pix of me (just a 
warning)!

Anyway, they just arrived, you can order them on my web site or just email 
me.
