I think it was SUNY Stoney Brook- I believe he takes/took composition from Daniel Weymouth. One of his compositions is on Jerry Errante's last CD. What particularly embarasses me is the fact that he seems to be my age and plays the way he does! He did a Masterclass/performance at Thomas Nelson community college here in eastern VA. It was over a holiday weekend so the attendance was not as good as could be hoped- and the only way I knew about it was from a friend taking an adult education course at Thomas Nelson- not through clarinet channels. There was also a composition seminar with Dan Weymouth. All in all a wonderful weekend!
