...every week--a different promotion, promoting a new album or a new artist, or different DJs coming in to showcase what they have. That keeps me busy during the day. One or two days a week I'm at FNX taking phone calls from record labels and doing that side of the business. I also do a little bit of studio work where I produce my own music...

Needless to say, we loved her. The highlight of the class was the week we watched "West Side Story" on videotape and discussed the musical's roots in Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet," the socially conscious message of the show and the Boston background of composer Leonard Bernstein...
