My Life in Links:

• www.hatecrimesbill.org

• Northwestern University School of Music
  (my alma mater)
  
  
• Northwestern University Facilities Management
  (my employer)

  (my regular Church gig)
  
  
• Marcy Stonikas, one of my lovely soprano friends.
  
  
• Sherrill Milnes--I was fortunate to coach with Prof. Milnes at Northwestern for about 6 months. It was wonderful! There are a lot of incredible faculty there, and he was one of the best. He loves the students, and makes a point of coming to rehearsals and performances. There is nothing better than getting dress rehearsal notes from Sherrill Milnes. Well...maybe one thing better...praise! "Nice pour of sound!" I think is what he said to me after Bartered Bride dress. I was quoted (gushing) in a Chicago Sun Times article on Mr. Milnes: "Basic Training in the World of Opera".
  
  I understand that he's leaving NU soon...a shame. He's been an incredible asset to the school--I'm not sure everyone has fully understood that
  
  Like many great men, he is the object of much love and admiration...as well as jealous scorn and envy. I unashamedly fall into the former catagory and defy those in the latter! Hahah! Check him out on YouTube!
