HI RIKKI,
Many years ago I got my first piano playing job in a big band. I had been playing trumpet before. Our Lead tenor and arranger was a guy named Wayne Ulrike from Germany, same last name as your first name. He was the best big band composer/arranger I ever knew. tremendous talent. Having read many of your posts, I conclude that you too have a tremendous talent.
Best to ya,
Bebop
PS: I have been married for 57 years.
