The
great
Frank
Bellino

Another Licking County icon, the great Frank Bellino, conducting a rehearsal at Denison University. I remember him as much for his warm personality as for his music.

Photographically, here's an example of what mishmash thinking and indecision and lack of editing skill can do to a photo presentation. Because I couldn't decide which, if any, of these images would please the editor, I submitted all of them. He crops the crap out of them, pastes them down in a strip, and adds a bunch of truly corny captions because, well, what can you really say about a conductor conducting after you've said he's conducting?

If I were doing it again, I would have submitted only the image on the right, which I now think is by far the best of the litter. That would have solved all the problems, but I was just learning, too.
