Philip Glass is arguably the most famous plumber, mover and cab  driver ever to work in New York.  While not every example is that  extreme, there are quite a few composers with day jobs – multitalented  people, that advocate for their fellow composers, write, work in radio  or have a Ph.D in neuroscience.
Tune in to listen to their works, and to find out what’s up with the elephants.
