Radio King

This composer quotes poetry in five languages, plays piano and guitar, sings professionally, takes award-winning photographs.  He also stays fit:
An omnivorous and glibly articulate intellectual with an appetite for everything, MacLean has a body as sculpted as his mind. He is an avid windsurfer, runner, skier, swimmer and kayaker. He loves to paddle among the otters in the evenings after work near his Madrona apartment, and to run at night, barefoot, through the rain forest, which he calls the best symphony on Earth.
He also cooks.  No doubt he also builds large suspension bridges in his backyard and woos women with his godlike trombone playing.  And now, he's working the turntables at KING-FM commercial classical radio.

Meanwhile, banjo player and singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens has one album under his belt.  He has 49 more to go.  After all, there are a total of 50 states in the U.S., right?

Summertime, and the orchestratin' is easy:  there seems to be a lot of movie and video game soundtrack concerts happening.  Hmmm.  Must ... decide ... if ... this ... is ... a ... good ... or ... bad ... thing.
