An old friend from school popped up on the cover of this week's Metroland -- an alternative, weekly newspaper published in Albany. The cover story spotlights the music of Brent Gorton.I first met Brent in the sixth grade. He was one of the most unique and creative people I knew in school.
I remember going to Brent's house once. On the wall in his room he hung a series of paper dolls. Each one had a necktie drawn in black and white, two dots for eyes and a straight line for mouth -- except for the middle one, which was smiling and had a colored tie. The caption under the dolls said, "Dare to be different." That describes Brent perfect.
In school he was always a gifted artist and writer. Now it seems he's turned his talents to music. Way to go, Brent!
