What I'm doing now: I attend the College of Saint Rose in Albany, NY. I'm studying for a degree in Philosophy/Religion. I sing in both our select group, the Saint Rose Chamber Singers, and our student-run, male a cappella group, The Other Guys.  

Comments:
The program kept me involved with choirs and singing through high school and college. Ironically, 6 years later I now sing under the direction of Dr. Michael Levi, head of the Choral Studies program when I attended in 1996.

What I'm doing now: I LOVE MUSIC!!! I would NEVER trade it for ANYTHING!!! The opportunity to make music is the GREATEST GIFT EVER given to me by whatever MAGNIFICENT POWERS that be in this universe.

Comments: It's a GREAT "test" for anyone who has doubts about music. It's NOT an easy profession to succeed in, but certainly MORE THAN WELL WORTH the REWARDS if you can "stick it out". Some of my FONDEST memories are from NYSSSA!
