Gene Pokorny, Bonus Room: The Legendary Orchestral Tubist of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra

In addition to his orchestral career, Gene is also an accomplished soloist and chamber player, and I ask him about this aspect of his career. Finally, a huge influence on Gene and his thinking is the author Stephen Covey and his book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People." And, as always with Gene, there is a lot of laughter!
