In reviewing the formative experiences that went into making me the new music artist that I am today, I cannot possibly overlook Music Appreciation. Music Appreciation was not a class that you would find in the school curriculum, it was extracurricular in the extreme.

Music Appreciation was conducted during the off hours in Dave and Marty's dorm room and was attended by anywhere from a half dozen to a dozen or more students. The attendance was divided roughly between the students from our institution and the art students from the Maryland Institute of the Arts.

Everyone was invited to bring along a musical selection of their choice and, after the opening formalities, all of the new music artists of the past and the new music artists of the present were heard with no additional commentary or preamble.

That what went on in Music Appreciation had something to do with the smoke alarms going off out in the dorm halls is pure conjecture and rumor, no doubt started by Bill Brown, a school 'guard' with whom I had a 'Tom and Jerry,' relationship.
