Name: Tim O�Leary
Locale: New York City
Dates in Group: Earth Tone from �98 � �02, and again in �04 � �05
Position: Tim was the �correspondence secretary� for a year, until everyone wised up and realized that was a dumb position, thus all his responsibilities were absorbed into the job of the main Secretary, and he was left with spare time to play video games. He was, most notably, unofficially in charge of creating skits, fight scenes, choreography, special effects, etc. of the semiannual PAC shows.
Solos/Compositions: �My Old Man,� �A Cacophony Awaits You,� �Kiss the Girl,� �Find the River,� �Circle of Life,� �Mr. Grinch,� �Amazing Grace,� �Stan,� �Clint Eastwood,� �Lullaby,� "I've Got a Theory," and �Grey Street.� He wrote the lyrics to �Circle of Life,� �Stan�and� I�ve got a Theory," and co-wrote �A Cacophony Awaits You� with Jon Hansen.
Contact: He can be reached at timoleary429@yahoo.com, and found online www.myspace.com/timolearyactor.
Updates in your Life: After a second go-around with the Earth Tones, during which Tim wrote two epic Earth Tones short films (directed by E-tone Alum Jeff Miller) that each led into elaborate stage shows, Tim finally got serious with his acting and writing career and moved to New York. He was quickly cast in a new rock musical called �Twist,� and had his off-Broadway debut in December of 2006. He wrote a play entitled �Pieces on the Board,� which is having its debut in NYC in the summer of 2007. He is currently working on several projects in theatre, musical theatre, and film.

I miss singing with you guys. It's always great when we get together. I'm very grateful to all the members who created the Earth Tones and those who continue to keep it rocking. It has helped me become a better teacher than I otherwise would have been.

E-Mail Address: TimothyQuill82@hotmail.com
Updates in My Life: I often find myself putting on our old CDs and reminiscing about my 4 years in college...damn I miss those times. I haven't done any organized singing since I left the 'Tones (there simply hasn't been enough time), but I want to get back into some type of group. After my 4 years at Albany (and, most importantly, in the Earth Tones), I attended St. John's Law School for one year, and transferred to Columbia Law School where I've been a student since Fall of 2005; that's pretty much the extent of what I've been doing for the last 3 years. I'm currently living in New York City (and I expect you jack asses who are down here to contact me...the only one I've successfully met up with since moving to NYC is Kanevsky). Still dating the same girl. Still missing Albany. Still interested in government, public service, and politics, and still hoping to run for office - some day.
