Hey, thanks, Jonathan. Michael (I can't remember his last name) Baxter? > taught "rhythmic dictation" for a .5 credit ... > and then brought his guitar teacher - Chuck > Wayne, for garsh sakes! - in one night to play > to us. He played with Scott Esedom on drums and Greg Pollari on bass, but God forgive me for forgetting the wailin' sax player who led the group. On Saturday nights they'd pack into a room in the library basement and jam away. The sax player left school to pursue his musical career, detouring along the way to be an assistant to one of the Beach Boys for a while. Greg went on to be one of the lead engineers in the development of consumer global positioning systems. He lives in Cedar Rapids. > Ali Akbar Kahn - Ravi Shankar's elder and teacher - played the snack bar (or somewhere, I can't remember - maybe it was the old gym). Yup. The Fieldhouse. > John Richter, Spinoza himself. That's the truth. He's the guy who extracted from Vedic texts the calculations necessary to build Tim Fitz-Randolph's Vedic Observatory. What did you go on to do, Jonathan?
