HAPPY HEAVENLY BIRTHDAY to one of my dearest friends, Karen Antonio-Muenzinger. It is amazing how people enter our lives and then sometimes they leave before we want them to, but they have a profound impact on us while they are here. It can feel as if they crossed our path for a reason. I met Karen 1995 and lost her in 2005. She was like a sister to me. At the very end she told me she would be my guardian angel. Thank you, Karen, I keep you with me in my heart, and celebrate you each year on your birthday. I miss you very much.

On January 29, 2005, my brass group, INNOVATA, lost trumpeter and friend Karen Antonio-Muenzinger to cancer. This piece "Karen" was the first piece of many (little did we know at the time) that the acclaimed composer Sanae Kanda would write for us. In honor of Karen's birthday, September 14th, here is the original track (with Karen playing the main melody) from our first CD "Brass a la carte" as a FREE download for the next couple of days. (After clicking the link, just scroll down to the last track.) I hope you enjoy it! https://tubastudio.com/album/237371/brass-a-la-carte
