The Professors return to Lenfell Hall at Fairleigh Dickinson University to perform at the Convocation Ceremony for
students graduating from the MA in Corporate and Organizational Communication. Gary performs
the entire first set on
classical guitar, and dedicates the performace of Pink Floyd's "Dogs" to the retiring Dean of Becton College, Barbara
Salmore. Maya "Little Schmoopy" Romanenko makes her debut nailing the chicken to the floor during the performance of
The Professors' classic, "Sunday Night at Kenny's." The show ends on a high with two completely
spontaneous encores. The first, "Psycho Killer," was a song that was fairly familiar from
recent practice sessions. However, the playing of Hawkwind's "Brainstorm" as the final number
of the night came as a
complete surprise to both the audience and the band. The song went splendidly and crowned a very successful
performance.
