40 Lists Project

To my delight, and hopefully to God's glory, someone submitted my name on one of the lists published by the SC Arts Commission. I am on the "Rising Star" list...with some pretty prominent names like Brian Rutenberg, Christian Thee and Jim Arendt! Here is the link http://www.southcarolinaarts.com/40/results_17.shtml
