February 19, 2000: The Professors play before 100 people in Lenfell Hall in the Mansion of Fairleigh Dickinson University as part of the celebrations for the 40th birthday of the Chairperson of the Social Sciences Department, Dr. Peter Woolley. Dr. Jonathan Millen, Rider University, sat in on drums for the second set. This gig saw the premiere of Christie, Are You Out There?, a new Barrows/Radford classic performed in vintage Springsteen style by Chad Dell. The Professors' number one fan, Kathy Muldowney, had this to say about the show: "The Professors amazed the crowd once again at their latest gig held at the FDU Mansion on Feb. 19th. With a mix of originals, standards, and some great segues between tunes, The Professors made lots of changes to their lineup and offered much more of a show this time around. Taking a trip with The Professors, from Bar-Band to practically a Popular Culture Operetta, this performance was a real joyride" (from The History of The Professors).
