I thoroughly enjoy my job as a teacher,and reaching out to so many of our disenfranchised youth.......i try to make a difference in the lives of the students i teach, as well as those whom i meet in life. ..."and ive learned, that if you become a teacher, by your pupils you'll be taught"

Colored Musician's Club, Anchor Bar, Shadow Lounge, Cocktails and More, any club where there is wonderful music, especially live jazz, gospel, old school, and new school!Empire Grill, Neitzches, Hardware Cafe, Olive Garden, Romeo's and Juliets

Hey Linda! Do you know Norm Zogaib?-he taught all of my kids and took two of them to Carnegie Hall in High School to sing-and one to Lincoln Center-a wonderful guy!
Hi linda I was just wondering if your last name begins with an A
If it does I'm sure I already know you and your teaching abilty.
If it's not A I'm sorry I have you mistaken with another friend of my family. yes I have heard you play and your groups sing. very good. keep up the good work.
"i love your fresh approach to who you are" thank you. I also took it as a pun with with my screen name. I love your profile. Funny enough, reading you is almost hearing a melodious voice. Unfortunately I can only read you. Do you play any instrument. And thank you for doing such a great job. My experience in music classes is just great! I look forward to hear from you.

Linda- I like your diverse interests and passion for teaching. Isn't teaching great?- I teach at Medaille College- feel guilty when I pick up my check- but not guilty enough not to pick it up. I don't remember having a teacher in high school that looked like you-hey- don't call me a sexist- just call me an accurate observer of life. Be well.

I'm inviting everyone to a Meet and Greet on Fri Oct 10th, 9pm. 145 Broadway, downtown at the historic jazz & blues club, Colored Musicians Club. We're supporting the food bank so bring canned goods, $5 cover for entertainment, food, and proceeds go to Artfully AWARE.org. This is for artists, businesses & online networkers. I'd like you to join us!
Life's no fun if you don't pick a side and if you're not wringing the very most out of it, then what's the point? Keep on keeping on,
