Poor Octo....

or should I say - soon to be really poor, Octo. Getting 1 kid through 4 years of undergrad and 2 years for his masters was a daunting assignment for the wallet; much less trying to put multiple former "rug rats" through.

The music program at U of Mich has always been a shining star. During my stay at the U of Minn, the Battle of Bands was as big a deal to the music department as the battle of the teams was on the field. Two of the finest directors in college music - Dr. Revelli of Michigan and Dr. Bencriscutto of Minnesota, god, I loved 'em both.

Quack!
