As we come upon Christmas one of my strong memories as a member of St. John the Divine’s choir is the sounds of voices, our voices, caroling, Norman Syme with his perfect pitch, Jan Opalach with his bass (as a ‘Tweener) creating foundation, the sound of the Cathedral, the smell of the hospital wards, lights of the Rainbow Room and Carnegie Hall. How I came to be a visual artist when everything pointed to Music is another tale, I did pass my audition to be admitted to NYC’s High School of Music and Art aka known as ‘FAME’, just living ‘An Average Life’ #AAL.
