That's probably why he gets so much enjoyment out of cooking for you.<br /><br />I hope he finds enjoyment in his teaching job. He must like kids a lot to subject himself to being with them (mouthy teenagers) all the time!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724807799695867204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-52418664413848041972010-01-11T12:51:02.990+00:002010-01-11T12:51:02.990+00:00Dave was a band teacher in Michigan before he left...Dave was a band teacher in Michigan before he left his job to go to culinary school. When he graduated from FCI he looked for cooking jobs, but couldn't find anything very promising -- it's a very competitive field and the pay is initially low. So when a band teaching position came open in New Jersey he went back to that instead.Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-51282862210071575492010-01-10T16:06:59.941+00:002010-01-10T16:06:59.941+00:00I would love to have a first-hand look at a culina...I would love to have a first-hand look at a culinary school. I would also love to hear Dave's story about why he is now a band leader instead of a chef! I have had fleeting thoughts about going to cooking school even now (as a senior citizen), but I'm afraid cooking might seem like a job if I had to apply so many rules to it.<br /><br />Good for you for supporting Dave's band's performance. Hearing amateur musicians play can sometimes be difficult. It's probably even more so if you are their leader.<br /><br />Today I will join other amateurs for my monthly piano group get-together. Since we call it "Works in Progress", mistakes are allowed and even encouraged. Think I'll go practice now anyway...Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18356998698106275372noreply@blogger.com
