Life @ OSU presents Jeff Hino

Life @ OSU presents blues guitarist/ OSU faculty member Jeff Hino.

With a masters degree in educational media and experience as a library media specialist, Hino went from substitute teaching when he moved to Corvallis to working for the College of Forestry as a hands-on media specialist. From his start at OSU in 1984, he eventually rose to COF media center director in 2002. Recently, he joined the EESC to help them use technology to better communicate Extension information across Oregon.

My job, and my music, feed my creative side each in different ways, said Hino. In my job, I bring new ideas on how to deliver information using new methods.

Music is a social outlet for me. It is incredibly rewarding being with other people in a variety of musical spaces.

On a recent trip, he carried a ukulele on his back as he visited the Karen tribe in the hills of Thailand. I played an elephant folk song and some blues in the jungles of Thailand and they started playing (Eric) Clapton!

Music is just this incredible shared experience for everyone, said Hino. It is a voice through which you can speak with anyone, and they can appreciate it. It is a wonderful feeling.

It's always a pleasure to hear that slide guitar or see that smile. Among the nicest words I've heard on stage are these three: "Take it, Jeff." I always know I'm going to like what come next. Nice profile!

A nicely constructed piece about a fine musician and all-around great guy. Congratulations.
