Casey amazed at his graduate recital last night at my alma matter, University of Northern Iowa where he is in his final semester earning his Master's in Jazz Pedagogy. He performed on bass guitar, piano, and drum set, arranging many of the songs himself. He took a brave step a couple years ago when he went back to school to earn a second undergraduate degree, following his dream of a career in music. He picked up both a degree and hot wife before moving on to graduate school. Next up, hopefully a job as a jazz instructor at a college, living with his wife, and here's the big news.... a puppy!
