I don't want to brag, but my violin teacher is Michael Mclean. He wrote the music!

You should brag as much as possible because he's a brilliant composer and musician! Thanks for watching!

@1kayhauck I do have a web site, just add the .com to my name since youtube doesnt allow urls in comments. If you've seen the Sullivan bank in Grinnel IA with the 50" tall winged lions that were destroyed, and replaced recently, it is that winged lion that caught my eye and I am working now in fact on preparing to model one like it in clay very shortly, but I am researching the best clay to use for this massive a model. I figure about 800-1000# it will take.

I'd love to see your work.

The current Chicago Cultural Center show, Louis Sullivan's Idea, has some amazing photos of LHS's terra cotta sculptor, Kristian Schneider, and his workers producing the ornament.
