S2 E2- Dr. Gregory Wanamaker
It was my pleasure to have our first composer on the show! We talked about Dr. Wanamaker's path to becoming a composer, his introduction to the saxophone, and about the wild chipmunk he tamed and wrote a piece about! Dr. Wanamaker was kind enough to provide clips of his music to add to the episode as well!
