Music
Before shifting into Computer Science in 1982, I taught in the UI School of
Music for fourteen years: oboe, music theory and music history. I
performed in Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Rose Bowl, and many of the
public schools in Idaho and the Pacific Northwest. Every July, I perform in
the Royal Fireworks Concert in Spokane's Riverfront Park.
If your smiler needs a tickle, try these musical instrument jokes.
If you're ready for more, try these classical music disasters.
