| Introduction | That photo is, ahem, not actually me. It's the German actor Juergen Proechnow, who stars as a submarine captain in the film, "Das Boot". I also have a beard, and am somewhat German-looking, so my brother says I look like a U-Boat captain. Juergen is much better-looking than me, though. Alas. The real me is currently an NYU grad student who has lived in New York for about four years now. I'm looking forward to staying in NYC, composing and teaching music here for the forseeable future. |
