Ok, here's the deal....
I've had more than enough work on my hands in the last couple years. With graduating college, establishing myself as a professional performer and teacher, and making sure I can make rent, maintaining a high quality web-site kind of got left behind. In the last few months, though, I've spoken with a number of people who mention the site positively, and that they wish I'd update/fix it. (not to mention the polite and not-so-polite emails I've received).
Once my computer problems get straightened out, my first goal is to restore the links to the files that made this site possible. The next thing I plan to do is to expand on the Marimba Etc.(including an Leigh Howard Stevens Summer Seminar Alumni listing), Teacher's Forum, and Resume Exchange sections because I think the real potential and future of the site lies there. That's also where a lot of my interests lie right now. Look for changes to happen in the coming 3 months.

PS- I just got back from PASIC yesterday and I would like to tell everyone that is into any kind of percussion that joining PAS and going to the convention is the best thing you can do for your self as a percussionist. I would just have to say that PASIC 2000 was comparable to the most enjoyable four days I've ever experienced. I also have digitally-recorded footage of the 2000 PASIC Champion, North Texas Indoor Drumline that I want to post. (Greetings to my UNT drumline friends Chris Hale, Sidra Lawrence and Josh Torres)
