This page should not be speedily deleted because... this man is in the percussive arts hall of fame and is quite famous in his field of expertise. Besides being one of the most important musicians working in the Phildadelphia Orchestra during the era of Eugene Ormandy, he taught an extraordinary amount of high quality and exceptional percussion artists including all members of Nexus except xylophone virtuoso Bob Becker. You probably don't know anything of what i'm talking about, because this is details of fine arts and the people who make it. Check my reference link at the bottom of my page.
I also need to know how to put his picture on the page that I've uploaded to Wikipedia. I can't seem to get that done. Perhaps you can advise me how to do that. My plan is to let people know that the page exists and ask them to edit and add to it. This is an important man who has also received honorary doctorate degrees. Please do not delete. Just advise me how to get it right. Thank you. Ihavetantrums (talk) 07:05, 3 April 2017 (UTC) Brian Del Signore aka Ihavetantrums[reply]
