Alan Baer - New York Philharmonic
This blog will most likely be viewed only by family and friends. However, I cannot miss out on this opportunity to introduce some of you to my cousin Alan.Have you ever had a relationship with that one family member you didn't get to see enough and that when they were around they made everything right? They made you laugh and made any event tolerable no matter the circumstance? That is my cousin Alan. He has humor that makes you laugh from the belly! He is a great person with a fantastic outlook on life. He is just fun to be around and someone you can always count on.
Some of my fondest childhood memories are those in which Alan and I shared. We do not often get the opportunity to spend a great deal of time together due to the geographic locations that we reside and his extensive professional commitments. I love him very much and enjoy each conversation we have! He is a wonderful man, he is a spectacular father, husband and friend.
In case I forgot to mention earlier Alan also has a bit of talent as well. Now, don't tell him that because, we don't want him getting a big head at the next family function or at a holiday dinner table! LOL In any event ... he gives something very special back to the world through his music. You can listen to his CD at http://www.baertracksmusic.com ... and his bio follows:
Alan Baer joined the New York Philharmonic on June 21, 2004, as Principal Tuba. He was formerly principal tuba with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra, Long Beach Symphony Orchestra, and Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra.
