From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is my first go at a user page, so it will likely be very simple. I am a musician with a DMA in conducting (Peabody Conservatory, as a student of Frederik Prausnitz; dissertation on the history of the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra), a Mus.M in music history (thesis on the Fourth Shostakovich symphony), and a Mus.B in bassoon (both from Boston University). I live in New Hampshire and am currently employed in the information technology sector but will always be a musician first and foremost. I have done edits in various music pages as well as those for my home town (Erie, Pennsylvania) and John D. MacDonald/Travis McGee among others. Mostly I just dip my toe in the water of whatever page I see that I think needs a little nudge, but I do not generally spend much time with major contributions...though that may change.
Lately I've been fooling with userboxes and have created a couple that don't seem to exist elsewhere. Very simple ones, yes, but still, I take some small pleasure in actually figuring this out (with help!).
Have added stubs on a couple of my teachers (bassoon & conducting) too.
