1980 – 17 Years Old – Performance with the Irving Youth Symphony – Beethoven 3rd Concerto / First Movement – Not a great performance, the youth orchestra was mostly 10-16 year olds I think, a few missed notes on my part, the orchestra and myself wasn’t always on the same beat – off timing – and … the nervousness of a 17 year old – LOL … but, it is what it is … and it was recorded on an old Radio Shack cassette recorder in the front row.
