About Me

Dr.B
I've done a little of just about everything: sung in choirs, conducted them, sung in amateur and professional opera, performed as the ingenue in Chu Chin Chow, played the mother in a long list of operas, sung solos with professional orchestras, sung recitals, taught pop and classical singing, worked as a professional music critic, acted in and directed plays, and I'm sure other things I have forgotten. I hold the Doctor of Music with distinction from Indiana University where I studied voice, choral conducting and music history. As a young person I performed briefly in a German opera company. Later I became interested in musical performance by a computer-synthesizer. My day job was as a systems analyst. When I began this blog, I was still working, but now I am retired.
