Lorna's Swingset at Avogadro's Number

The Swingset Players:

Lorna Floyd, vocals, woodwinds. A music teacher for a kinder through 5th grade charter school in Fort Collins, Lorna loves that music is her entire day every day. She studied at Berklee College of Music, and a few other schools along the way...
