I went to college I finished all but 30 hours I was a music major a voice major I also had a year and a half of marketing at ivy tech community College I also played the piano for years I sang as a, cantor and soloist at two catholic churches for three years and was in quite a few historical society shows I feel I gave people pleasure through my music and later through my poetry is that not worth something too BTW I also read zen years ago even studied it in a class
