It squirted, instead, out the rear of the bun and rolled down my shirt, from shoulder to midriff, leaving a ketchupy path in its wake. And while Mellencamp was giving an obligatory pitch for Farm Aid, I was thinking how the music had not only made me feel good, but had unplugged my stuffed-

THUS FAR, THE GCO has been most successful in achieving one of its original goals of developing young talent, as many of its alumni now perform with college and community symphonies across the nation.
