What do you buy at garage sales?' 'Anything and everything!' 'Anything, really? What about... a Llama? Would you buy a Llama at a garage sale?' 'Well?... Yes!... I'd buy a llama.'It was at a holiday party I had a close encounter with a garage sale llama. 'True story. The llama was in the back yard of the neighbor's house where the party was being held. Having a llama in the neighbor's backyard is wild, but to hear how the neighbor acquired the llama at a garage sale is unimaginable! Even Hollywood could not come up with such a tall tale. – Jeffrey HooverJeffrey Hoover's compositions- music ranging from soloist to symphony orchestra -have received recognition through the Universal Edition/SMP Press Contemporary Composition Award, the prestigious Trieste prize, the international Luigi Russolo competition, awards from Mu Phi Epsilon, the Lancaster Fine Arts Festival, grants, publications fellowships, and more than 25 commissions.
