[Trombone-l] Postponed: Sam Burtis teaching in London, 11/10-11/12

[sabutin]

Hello all...

Sorry, but due to a complex of scheduling issues...there is an 
interesting story behind them, but long story short, most promoters 
should never to be trusted to do ANYTHING right...I am forced to 
postpone my London trip for a week or two or three. (See the quote 
below for the original post.) Neil Martin is now polling the people 
who were going to be involved to try to figure out when best to 
reschedule.

Stay tuned. I'll post the results as soon as I know what's up.

Later...

Sam
