yes but ray-bans and classical music?  it wouldn't stop you from 
getting a grant.  i'm too r&r to get a grant and never applied for one 
although i have been given money for particular music projects.  hope 
no one thinks i'm fishing for grants.  oh shit, i profess to say i 
don't care what anyone thinks.  guess i do but not too much to get in 
the way of notes.

foster grants really suck.  i was in the sunglass business for two 
years as a buyer and merchandiser.  to me it was better than playing in 
a top 40 band.
