Lyle Kevin [Lyle] Neff (12/05/1959), an American composer, from Ft. Benning (Georgia).
Neff: "I work full time at the Morris Library, University of Delaware, as a Library Generalist in the Reference Deptartment. Previously I was a Library Technician in the Reserve Room. I also serve occasionally as supplemental faculty at the Music Department at the University of Delaware. In that part-time capacity over the years I have served as a keyboard accompanist and a substitute course-instructor. Since Fall 2002 I have been teaching the distance-learning sections of MUSC101 (Appreciation of Music) via the Internet. I am also organist for First Presbyterian Church of Newark, and used to serve as pianist at the Mid-Atlantic Ballet in Newark before I got full-time employment."
