Composer David Kane keeps finding new ways to create

Creativity and innovative thinking are now considered to be essential skills in the highly competitive business market.

WBFO's Arts and Culture Desk producer Scott Sackett recently spent some time with Buffalo-based composer David Kane, whose home life has become nearly indistinguishable from his life’s work of more than 30 years.

This story was written and produced for the Arts and Culture Desk by Scott Sackett and Paul Lamont.
