About Me



Yeah! Me and Beau at THE BRICK!!!.

This was a dream come true. It's wasn't the money, which we are still not making much of, but it's just the thought of playing in a completely different environment than the Opera/Concert hall...err and we were jealous of our friends getting to play for their friends at prices that were affordable to folks our age.
The next nght, we used our powers for good and played at the big ALS (Lou Gherigs disease) fundraser in KC.
Though...I feel like we are doing some good in both venues The Brick and for ALS.... Elliot Ness, eat your heart out, Ha-cha-chaaa!

..

enjoy this rare clip. My honey and I are going to be in a musical theater show called I DO! I DO! in August at Yardley Hall. It's a way for us to be together after so many months on the road and maybe, if the show is successful we will be able to put a down payment on a house.

Be well and healthy. NG

My Interests

I am pleased by true expressions of love both in word and deed. In fact, I am many times overwhelmed by such occurrences.Sometimes I just feel like walking. I walk a lot which helps me think.I love to think.I love being proven wrong and though I get very opinionated sometimes, I am willing to say, you are right.I am interested in giving back to Kansas City everything I have received and more and look for more opportunities to expand my world, and likewise bring back those ideas and occurrences as new opportunities to make this community that much better.I'm also interested in cutting my workday from 15 hours to maybe 11 or even twelve

Movies:

please look up my facebook account for what I really feel about lots of movies.

Television:

Battlestar... is almost over. I do love the show and will miss it. Beau Bledsoe had the BEST times trying to download the iTunes show in the mountains of Idaho...The Office, both UK and USA. Carrell's hair was the best in the first two seasons though.My Name is Earl really has been an amazing scene.Kansas City Chiefs.Meet The Press This Week with Late Edition Hardball Daily Show Colbert.......in no particular order Good Eats Iron Chef Dirtiest Jobs and... American Idol.

Books:

This Business of Music Crime and Punishment Handling Sin - Michael Malone Dress for Success john T. Molloy Complete Walker IIIDid you know I actually tried to hike to Oberlin College from Kansas State University? I was into Ethnomusicology and getting into operatic singing at the time and thought I would be much happier there. But my grades were crap. I had read in those, 'how to get into the best schools if you are a total screwup' that if you did something remarkable, lots of times you could get in. So I trained for almost a year, getting a job in factories (actually worked at a syrup factory for a time as a temp, picking up spilled pallattes of glass and syrup yeuch) and whatever I could get. I bought equipment and finally took off on Earth Day.Five days later my knee gave out and I found, after a torturous walk to a town clinic, that I had arthritis in my knee and that this trek was not going to be any fun... Dragging myself to an abandoned barn outside the town, I and all of the local fauna thought about the continuation of the trip with the feel of a searing hot iron in my leg for another 900 miles. We all decided that I should go about getting into Oberlin another way. I went to a local Junior College (JCCC), spruced up my grades began studying voice again, and in fact did get accepted at Oberlin College as well as Indiana university and UMKC and Iowa U.I accepted UMKC and only found out later that Indiana had offered me a full ride, but the letter got lost in the mail.But see, I never would have met my wife, Laurie and that's all the comfort I need take...Sliding Doors.

Heroes:

Managers and representatives who have to put up with so much crap from artists.Seriously. I went to a performing arts presenters convention and completely had a cow. There were all of these reps there. I rarely get embarrassed or bashful among stars, but when I met some of the people who were representing Savion Glover, Bobby McFerrin and all sorts of others, I was just foot in mouth and slack-jawed....also Domingo. if I could do half as much as him, I would only be Directing ONE major company! Plus a monster on the stage!My Mom,and last but not least, My Wife.
