Yes. I research music using Pandora by creating stations
around artists. My favorite Pandora station is Duke
Ellington Radio.Your most embarrassing career moment?
Losing $25,000 on a concert arrangement in Rome,

would I fire you? I just paid for your $25,000 lesson.”What one goal has eluded you?
A fully staffed, trained sales team, all succeeding at the
