Last night at the SGA Pro-Shop, we had a visit from legendary musician, John Poppo. John came with a young artist, Chelsea Chris, that he is producing and managing. He is a well known songwriter himself, but is also known for his producing, engineering, mixing, arranging and artist management skills. He has worked with Michael and Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Diana Ross, Madonna and hundreds of other top artists.
John’s insights were valuable to all of our SGA members. The questions went on well past our time limit and John was nice enough to stay very late and answer all questions. The room was packed, and we were interested to meet Chelsea and hear just how John is helping build her career.
So many young people think if you meet someone important and you get a deal, life is good. Chelsea Chris is beautiful and very talented, and loving what she does. She is also building a career that will last a lifetime. She has learned to play piano and write out her own lead sheets.
She sits in at the Sugar Bar on a regular basis, and is thrilled to work with their great band and, of course, having Valerie Simpson sing backup for you is a quite something to tell you grandchildren about in years to come. We laughed a lot and, of course, we talked about the Grammy show and its importance to the music and recording worlds.
John is a trustee at NARAS and has been active for years. We thank him for that also. Everyone wants him to come back soon.
Hi Ann,
This might sound like a peculiar request, but with the revival of David Kibbe's Metamorphosis interest that has been going on on the world wide web, a lot of us are very curious where he's at and if he still is fashion interested. On online forums and groups on Facebook, ladies are discussing his book with great enthusiasm on a daily basis, and people are starving for more advice and updates. The reason I'm writing this to you, is that your web site happened to show up as I googled Mr. Kibbe, and I could simply not contain myself from asking you about him. If you do talk to him, please let him know that there is a definite marked for his advice, and his presence is most sought after. If not in a studio, then through a blog, web site, anything. :)
Sincerely,
one of the many dedicated Kibbe followers

When Ross Kressel took the office of SGA Student Body President, he beacme responsible for the voice and image of the student body and the College of Charleston. The fact that he wrote crude comments on Twitter is a big deal and he should be brought up before the Senate and student disciplinary board. With all the news coverage and talk this issue is starting he has put a bad light on the CofC student body. When he gives a quote to a newspaper or magazine he is suppose to reflect the views of the student body as a whole. I doubt that the majority of you agree with the comments he has made. I am not saying that he should be impeached, but his actions have consequences. Blaming the other elected officials by saying they are stirring up trouble is not right. Ross Kressel is responsible for Ross Kressel's actions!
