pm Today's episode is about two band moms:  Wendy & Mark's mom.  I share how those two moms impacted my life.  Very special ladies who were incredible moms / wives.  Thank you, Wendy and Mark's mom for the valuable lessons you taught me.   Please know that I would love you to share this and all my podcast episodes.  Also, please -I would love to interview teachers about their stories in the classroom.  We need to let the world know what is happening.Background of who I am:  In July 1989, began teaching high school music in a small Northern California town.  I moved several times.  I like to build programs.  Thanks to Jesus Christ, my wife, family, and many MANY students and their families, my career has had many great moments, including not limited to:  performances at Disneyland, New York, Chicago, Portland Rose Festival Parade (Out of State Champs 1994); conducted several middle school honor bands, author of a book, lecturer.  Yet, I do have stories that even when I share them - remind me of "hurting people hurt people."  Since March 30, 1991, Diana and I have been married.  We have two grown children.  A daughter-in-law.  A son-in-law (October 7, 2023).  Two beautiful grandsons. Also, please buy my book!!  CONDUCTING MY LIFE  https://www.amazon.com/Conducting-My-Life-Lessons-Teacher-ebook/dp/B01E82J5QA/ref=sr_1_7?crid=1YA4BXVB1W3DS&keywords=conducting+my+life+book&qid=1689266451&sprefix=conducting+my+life+book%2Caps%2C312&sr=8-7Scottish Banjo Music: https://youtu.be/4G2CGZIWccoGreat book!!  "If God is Good"  https://www.amazon.com/If-God-Good-Faith-Suffering/dp/1601425791/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1689444508&sr=8-1
