George Huertas, Class of 1985, a rock ‘n roller in his youth, reports that a CD he recorded last spring with some business friends has enjoyed brisk sales and even captured some invitations to “play a couple of live performances in sleazy San Francisco bars...” Proceeds are donated to Battered Women’s Alternative.Thegroupis“WholeintheSoul” andtheCDis “Plugging the Hole” (reflecting the absence of artistic expression in businesspeople’s lives, George says).
