FROM BIMHUIS TO EARTHWISE JULY 14 FOR BAY AREA TRUMPET LEGEND

Hi Mark,
Unfortunately a grant that I thought would subsidize the the trip fell through.
I’m sorry.
I’m gonna try again in 2025.
Sorry for the false alarm.
Will be in touch.

Best,
Ralph

Hi Mark,
Yes, count me in. Will let you who’s playing very soon.

Looking forward!

Best,
Ralph
