Dr. McAdams is one, that when I think of my Grayson years, brings a big smile to my face. I played trombone in the GCC jazz band from 76-78 and even made him endure some pork from hogs I raised. I have to give him lots of credit in influencing me in my education and love of music. When I hear Dixieland or big band, I think of Dr. McAdams, fun times, and I SMILE!
