I am no experienced Shakespearean drama critic, in fact I hold my hands up and admit that I am a complete armature of his works, and even struggled my way through the GCSE content for Shakespeare.

Metzger on guitar, Buddy Mohmed on bass, Dennis Durick on drums, and Joe Eckert on saxophone. The performance consisted of 15 jazz songs. Each band member had a remarkable list of accomplishments that was listed in the program. They were clearly not armatures in this art.

Drew McCall, someone who would later become my first editor and good friend. I had a lot of doubts as I handed him that that packet of paper. “I’m a child development major,” I told myself, “Why would I work for a newspaper?” I wondered if being an armature writing enthusiast was enough to make writing words my campus job. I felt out of place. I’m glad I didn’t listen to my doubts. After writing over 130 pieces for the Outlook, and conducting and transcribing twice that many interviews, my…
