Band Director 'Toots His Own Horn'
Our very own Chad McCartney, NMS Bands, Music Department Chair, is part of Fink's Constant, a central PA ska band that he helped form about 23 years ago. Last month, they had the honor of being recorded and interviewed by WITF's Joe Ulrich. The link below will let you see additional pictures and hear the songs. Chad reports: 'I have always tried to practice what I preach; making music is one of the greatest joys that a musician can have. I hope this will help people learn a little bit about the music of Jamaica...and maybe smile, just a little."
Thank you Chad, for sharing your gift of music with your Northern family!
