[@connorreich1361]

Every time I play I try to sound like Brian Hecht

[@Tucker.Showkeir]

They sure do know how to do it in Texas.

[@Ediceu-]

Yeah men me too !!!

[@markuswil-fart1901]

How could anyone dislike this performance? That was flawless... Congrats, Brian and ensemble!

Some juicy bass action in the choir! Good things happening in Conway. 👌

[@tromboneman4517]

Tony Baker of the Dallas Opera went to Central Arkansas. So something special may have always been there.

I haven’t heard this piece since 8th grade when Ben van Dijk performed it. You did it great justice too sir!

[@lincolnrossmusic]

[@jhonygiraldoestrada]

Bravo !!!

[@junjieng1706]

Awesome!!

[@dylanle8239]

damn that is what I call a BIG sound

[@zachpenny5498]

Thank you Brian for teaching me so much at FoT. You talked about how we should listen to joe Alessi and other good players. But in my mind I was thinking about how everybody in that room should just listen to you. Your sound, I would say is 10 times better than Joe. Thank you! And don’t forget, YEET YEET is the end of the world!

Hockey Playa32 YEET YEET!!

This one was part of my repertoire in the late 70's-early 80s. You did well!

[@bassbonebrian]

MacQ1955 thank you!

[@MacQ1955]

@@bassbonebrian I sorta sounded quite arrogant in my initial post. Sorry about that. Truly, however, great performance!

[@bassbonebrian]

MacQ1955 not at all, no worries! And thanks again!

Where did you get that 2nd trigger sleeve from? I’ve been looking for one, but I can’t find any.

[@bassbonebrian]

Another Random Person oddly enough I found that one in my desk at Kennesaw State. Must have been owned by one of the previous teachers. You can buy them from @opuscreations on Instagram.

[@Capricegirl_]

Brian Hecht Okay, thank you so much.

[@xLesPaulGibsonx]

Beautiful sounds, fantastic playing, great blend, but I just can't get behind this piece; it's incredibly boring and distasteful, I feel.
