Kat is headed there for two weeks. Lets hope she doesn’t get snowed in until Spring!

Corey Vidal and Me

Corey Vidal and Me

I recognized his face right away, but I couldn’t quite place it.

“Where have I seen you before?”

He’s, like… one of the most talented people on the face of the planet. Certainly, more talented than me (and that doesn’t take much, admittedly). If the name “Corey Vidal” doesn’t ring a bell, perhaps “An a cappella Tribute to John Williams” will.
