About Me

I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4 } Michael F. Wagner is a contemporary composer and a philosopher of human nature from Buffalo, New York who likes sandwiches and is very striking. His education includes Berklee College of Music, UB School of Music Education, as well as many heavy session dudes and chicks, orchestras, conducting symposiums, recording sessions, throughout Buffalo, NYC, Boston and Calgary. After studying piano under Jennifer Valentine, Jimmy Beischline, Frina Arshanska Boldt, and Al Tinney and bass under Ed Friedland and Roger Macchiaroli, he became a lifelong fighter for musical integrity and multiculturalism, and served as a captain in the Dr. Patricia O'Toole Army of Musical Justice. His dog B'Elanna is the brightest, most personable dog ever, who is famous wherever she goes and has the biggest vocabulary in the whole damn world.
