I’ll pick up my visa in NYC on Monday morning. Will then try to get BA to put me on an earlier flight. If I can make the rehearsals on T and Th I can play with B&R on Sat. in Manchester. Thought you might like to see the start of season schedule. British Open is on the 12th. They started the new season on 18 August. I’ll have to figure out how to post a PDF and obviously how to format!!
