I have great friends...

...in honor of my new found citizenship, a buddy of mine put together this video below.



Thanks, Ian Gerg. Thanks.

I am now a full-fledged American Citizen.

25 years in the making and about a million hoops (most of which involved my awesome parents), I was sworn in as a Citizen of the United States yesterday at 2pm in a nice ceremony with about 226 other individuals from all over the world in San Antonio.

Yay!

I think I found out what they did to Grover and the Cookie Monster

Happy Anniversary!

Jaclyn and I are celebrating 5 years of wedded bliss today! Just another example of when you aim high (as in, I aimed really, really high), you can occasionally catch one and hang on for at least 5 years!

I love you, Jac.

The Recital...

...went really well. I think everyone seemed to have a great time and I'm thankful for all the wonderful players and others involved. I'll have pics and things from the concert shortly.

Cat Abuse?

Don't show the SPCA or especially those nuts at PETA...

Recital Week

It's less than 6 days until my DMA Comp Recital and things are falling into place nicely. All four pieces on the program are already sounding very good and there are still a couple rehearsals left to go. I think the recital will end with a bang...but no clues. You'll have to see it to find out!

PROGRAM:

Three Pieces for mixed sextet (pierrot ensemble + percussion)

Martyr Alone for violin and viola

Suite Bennington for 7 players

Things Women Yell at Market for voice and piano
