Hi all! First of all I am a single male who happens to be straight. I am a retired band director/chairperson of art's and humanities department(s) for over three decade's. I now stay busy with social media, including but not at all limited to, here, Google+, (several places or coumm.) , Mashable, MySpace, Zoripa, and Twitter. I still am active in music comp., ology, arranging, studio work, coaching, and guest conducting. I invite any amoung you to join me, and thousand's of other's, in the war against hate. During my life I have seen score's of people die, way too soon, at the "hand" of another's hatefull thought's, or action's. I will die doing all I can to stop this madness, even if for only one person, one time, for one second. peace, Jake
