Summer Capricorn

Adam Nicholas abandoned classical music as a way of life in favor of a "real" job in computers, but the early-eighties recession in Silicon Valley interfered with his plans. Before he can lead the life he wants, there are two other experiences he must first live, two other directions he must choose, directions for which his new diploma leaves him completely unprepared.

Terry Row began his professional life as a musician. As an oboe player, he attended Juilliard School and the California Institute of the Arts. Early in his career, he performed throughout the United States and Europe in orchestras, chamber ensembles, and as a soloist. He made a dozen recordings and toured North America during five years as a member of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra. At the age of 30, he chose a new direction for his life, returning to school and becoming a computer consultant and expert on relational database design.
