   About CHIEF TUPU
Review of TMCCs' Fall '08 Production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street- "The members of the 6-piece orchestra, led by conductor/pianist Ted Owens, are truly the unsung heroes of this strong but difficult production, with its unfailingly complex and eerie score." -Jessica Santina Reno News & Review October 23, 1008 issue

Glad for the add!

Yes, I've sent a request to Mojo Green, as well.

Hope to catch you at the Cantina gig.

In the meantime ... hope you enjoy the chewy "earworms" in my songs.
