Greg spent the first 20 years of his career as a bassoonist and woodwind repair technician in Air Force Bands in Colorado and Washington D.C. While living in Virginia, a dear friend introduced him to the hammered dulcimer, and he immediately fell in love with it. Being at the midlife point, he purchased a hammered dulcimer rather than a new sports car or wife. Not being content with playing only two relatively obscure instruments, he has added the recorder. The neighbors are hoping the sackbutt or the serpent horn are not next.

Nancy has wowed people with her oboe and English horn playing wherever Greg's Air Force career took them. She was the principal oboist in the Arlington Symphony (Northern Virginia) for eight years. Washington Post reviewers wrote of her playing:

"Solos by . . . oboist Nancy Brown stood out like jewels. . . Brown's oboe was prominent and outstanding among the other fine solo lines . . . a lone, dreamy oboe line, played with great skill by Nancy Brown . . . Nancy Brown deserves mention for a delicious oboe solo . . ."

She has been instrumental in founding woodwind quintets in Colorado and Virginia. Currently, she is Instructor of Oboe at Colorado Christian University. She also has taken up the recorder, and performs on it in the group Anachron.
