GUEST DIRECTOR - ROGER CAMPBELL on clarinet:  Roger, a native of Colorado
Springs started playing the clarinet at age 10, after finding his sister's
old clarinet in the closet.  Over a ten-year period he performed in over
12 honor bands, including Colorado All-State Band, Colorado Springs Youth
Symphony and the CU Honor Band.  He won numerous solo and ensemble
competitions and earned a scholarship at CU-Boulder, graduating in 1992.
His interest in jazz began in high school after attending a Preservation
Hall Jazz Band concert with his dad.  He started the Revelation Dixieland
Jazz Band while in high school and won the first Danny Stevenson Memorial
Scholarship from the Pikes Peak Jazz & Swing Society in 1988.  In college
Roger played with the UCD Claimjumpers for two years.  In 1989 he started
the Pearl Street Jazz Band which is a well-respected band today, playing
at national festivals and many local events.  In addition, he can be heard
playing with the Fred Moldenhauer Sextet and Claimjumpers Alumni. 

ANNUAL MEMBERS-ONLY PICNIC…………………June 27, 3-7 PM
This is a change of place from the last several years.  Our former hosts,
Elizabeth and Larry Wonnacott, have sold their home.  However, Virginia
Myers, a long-time member, has offered to host this year's picnic. Her
address is 3375 14th Street in Boulder.  It's very easy to find.  Take
Iris until two blocks before Broadway, turn south.  Her house is the first
one on the right.  You can park on the street or across Iris in the public
complex's parking lot.  All you old timers know that BFJ furnishes
hamburgers, hot dogs, buns, condiments, wine, beer and sodas.  When you
call to sign up, let Jinny Oliver (303-444-1132) you're coming and what
side dish you'd like to bring - salad, dessert or appetizer.  This is the
perfect setting to get know other BFJ members.

GUEST DIRECTOR - CHARLIE SMITH on trumpet:  Charlie is a Colorado native,
growing up in Denver and graduating from University of Northern Colorado
(UNC) in 1985.  For two years in the late 80"s he toured nationally with

was auditioned and filled in for him.  He also played with the Woody
Herman band, under the leadership of Stew Jackson for several years, as
well as at Disney World in Orlando, Florida.  In Colorado he's been a
