What a long, strange trip it's been

Friends,

          I've mostly lived in the area during my working years, Virginia since '02.  A few of you might remember that I played drums at Somerset, but I then switched to cello, and made a career in that for awhile; cello faculty at SUNY-Potsdam and the University of Missouri-Kansas City.  During summers I'd come back here and play at Wolf Trap or the Kennedy Center.  Had something of a mid-life crisis and became a lawyer, doing music as a side-line.  I was also a music critic for the Wash Post -- wrote nearly 500 pieces between '06 and '18.  I teach a few students and play gigs now and then, while keeping things going at the firm though I'll likely be retiring soon.  Never married or reproduced.  Just taking life as it comes!  Grateful to Whit (and his boy) for bringing us back together.  In dreams, I still sometimes find myself in the halls of the school we knew so well.
