Mizzou

This is a picture of my friend James, who is the choral director at Carl Sandburg College up near Chicago and who graciously reads my blog religiously.  We were in school together at Mizzou while he did his masters in choral conducting and I was in my latter years as an undergrad.  Below, witness his excitement upon opening the most recent University of Missouri School of Music brochure to find a picture of you know who...

My hair is definitely shorter in the picture, but yes, it's yours truly.  Taken about two years ago in front of the Columns and Jesse Hall, that picture is my pride and joy.  I had a former student last year, who was a senior in high school at the time, who received last year's brochure among all the college stuff she was getting in the mail (which featured the same photo) and ask me later if it really was me.  HA!  Didn't know your piano teacher was actually legit, huh?  I love it.  Thanks for making my day, old friend! :)
