I'd also be interested in learning about his recent musical activities, if any, especially since I miss his brawny, lyrical playing style, not often heard in legit circles these days, as far as I know. He was a very dynamic and assertive player, and I hope that someday Dorn/Open Loop might make available his recording of the Denisov sonata on CD or via download. Googling him turns up little beyond mentions of his etude book and some tobacco-related newsgroup posts that might or might not be by him (he was an avid pipe-smoker way back when). Maybe he's left the music biz and gone on to better and brighter things.
Phil Delibero anyone?
Has anyone seen or heard from Phil Delibero in the past decade? I studied with him in high school in CT in the 80s, he went through some tough times, and I eventually lost track of him. He was a mother of a legit player and a Phil Woods-inspired bebop player.
Anyone?

A dry cleaner? That's really heartbreaking. You'd think that students would have been beating down his door all these years, given his accomplishments and previous professional standing. Well, I hope he's doing better now.
If you do manage to track him down, let him know that his playing is missed.
