Bob (Robert) Rushford was my dad. He is the 4th trumpet in this video. It was the beginning of his music career. He passed last March. He used to talk about Bud Herseth like he was a god. The video is the only video I know of that he is in.

@PplPwr13 great story. I was a trombonist in Southern Illinois and Bud was spoken of line a God down there too. CSO's brass section couldn't be beat for 30+ years

@@CurtisBooksMusic I should say that this is the only video I have of him playing the trumpet. I wish I had more videos or recordings of him playing. He raised me to be a baseball player and my son is a baseball player. My oldest daughter was a ballerina (like my mom) and my youngest daughter is a volleyball player. That's most of the videos on my TH-cam channel. Ironically, the video of my dad playing with the CSO is by far the most viewed video. I had no idea there would be so much interest in that.

@PplPwr13 well it led me to the baseball videos as well. My son is a HS player and I watch plenty of baseball videos so I'm not sure which of those two topics actually got this suggested to me. :)

There are a few times where he seems to maybe glance up and at least one time for sure where you can really see him look up

wow - I studied Chichowicz's Flow Studies, admired Herseth's playing for years (he was the absolute pinnacle of orchestra trumpet playing) and played the Hindemith Sonate in HS for All-State. Unbelievable collection of talent.

Yes. That's him. I couldn't put everyone's name due to the TH-cam character limit.

Adolph Herseth, Vince Cichowicz, Frank Kaderabek, and Bob Rushford with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Paul Hindemith -

Such an unassuming guy too from the videos I've seen. It must have just been natural.

My dad idolized Bud. He spoke of him as if he were a God of sorts.

Thats beyond untrue

He was a great man and a great player. Studied with him a bit and had the honor of working with him.

I couldn't fit all the names because TH-cam limits the # of characters allowed.

It’s supposed to be pointing at Bob, not Bud.

I put this video up to honor my father, Robert (Bob) Rushford, who passed away on March 16, 2024. He was just starting his music career then. He spoke of Bud Herseth like he was a god all through my childhood. I couldn't fit the other names because TH-cam limits the # of characters in the title.

I saw them in '78. The CSO played Mahler 1. We were in the cheapest seats in the house, as far away as you could get from the players as possible. But toward the end of the last movement when the horn players stood and the brass section opened up, it was like they were right in front of me. Best concert I ever attended in my life.

And rightly so !! That why he's Chicowizc and we're not. Besides Mel Broiles l had Jim Maxwell who studied with Herbert L and Schlossberg. Mel was with Vacchiano. And l'm not any of them lol😅

It might have been broadcast live so it could have been a time saver.

Or simply to " rub it in " 😊​@@johnrandolph6121

Hadn’t noticed that - good catch! Or maybe the perfect resonance of his horn made everything nearby vibrate sympathetically!

Dunno! Maybe Cubby fans wish they had the winning record of the CSO!?!

Apparently the guy who owns this channel’s father is playing 4th tpt in this video.

<LOL> Have you heard his piece entitled Trauermusik?

@@rolandmeyer3729 I have played it.

Not just any old viola player: gave the premier of Walton's viola concerto if you please.

Sick viola jokes? You mean like when Victor Borge pointed out his first instrument was the viola. And he said the difference between a viola and a violin is that a viola burns longer.

@@trainliker100 Yes.

name dropper! '-)

What a marvelous time that must have been in your young musical life! I was fortunate to study with Mr. Chicowicz briefly in the late 1970s. He was a fine gentleman and wonderful teacher. Really wish I could have studied with him regularly, but I was driving from Ohio while attending the University of Akron. I heard the CSO a couple of times live, Mahler 5 and Bartok (it wasn’t Concerto of Orchestra, but Mandarin - I think). Are you still playing? Still going to hear the CSO? Their new Principal Trumpet, Esteban Batallán, is truly a force of nature!

@@michaelfoxbrass Yes, Vince was an incredible teacher and gentleman. I was driving from Bloomington Indiana where I studied with Bill Adam so it wasn't as often as I would have liked. I heard many of the Strauss tone poems, and Wagner overtures plus Madarin, Le coq d'or. I played professionally for 11 years, starting in '64, including Associate in Dallas and Principal in Indianapolis. In 1975 I transitioned into pro audio and have gotten to hear really great brass playing in LA, NYC and London. One score I did in NY had Phil Smith, Phil Meyers and Joe Alessi on it. What fun that was!! How about you; where did the trumpet take you?

Yes Thats Frank.

Isn't it Frank Krapadabek?

As a matter of fact mr. kakerabek died just about a month ago. A wonderful man and musician.

Actually, I make fun and I didn't know he passed. I knew him in Detroit and, yes, he was a very nice man. He taught 15 min lessons on the local PBS station in the 60's where he hawked his Video Model Trumpet. It was a hoot! Guys in the DSO would tease him about it but he was always good natured. He'd say he was just trying to make a little extra money. Looking back it all seemed so quaint. But he could play, he could blow the house down. Then off to Philly. Bye, Frank, your not missing much.
