After graduation and 15
months at the investment firm of
J.P. Morgan, the younger Mr.
Snitzer decided to cash in on his
talents and check out of the
business world.
The future was in music, not-
ed the former futures trader. "I'm
really good at math, but that" —
a desk job — "was not what was
coursing through me."
He was more suited to the
stage, says Mr. Snitzer, who
traded in his "two-piece suit, sus-
penders look" for the hip, hot
couture of denim and dreams on
stage.
Were his folks rocked by the
decision? "Mom was more ac-
cepting of it," says Andy of Gail
Snitzer, "although she probably
had some trepidation."
Dad had some fears, too. "It
was a shocker for him and took
some getting used to." But his
folks proved to be supportive.
"They are great," says the son.
For many years, Andy Snitzer
has made his money as a studio
musician, performing on sax, lay-
ing tracks to recordings by such
notables as Bob Dylan, Aretha
Franklin, Bette Midler, Dr. John,
Melissa Manchester and Carly
Simon.
But the Stones? Gimme shel-
ter! "I was a Stones fan from ado-
lescence," says Mr. Snitzer who
was a high school student when

t's only rock 'n' roll, but he likes
it. Likes it? Loves it. "I always
wanted to be in music," says
Philadelphian Andy Snitzer.
"And now this."
Mr. Snitzer joined the Rolling
Stones on their international
tour. Andy Snitzer, 32, may be
a new member of the Stones'
Voodoo Lounge tour, but music
has cast a spell over home for
years.
"I became interested in the
saxophone at age 15," says Mr.
Snitzer, one of eight players who
back up the Stones on stage.
But sax appeal gave way to
other considerations as Andy
Snitzer got older. "If you are from
an upper-middle class Jewish
professional background as I am,
a life in music is considered 'spec-
ulative,' " he says with an appre-
ciative chuckle.
So Mr. Snitzer decided a busi-
ness education would be a sound
investment. Although he studied
music while enrolled at North-
western University for his fresh-
man year and then transferred
to the University of Miami —
where "I developed the skills that
form the basis for the player that
I am today" — Mr. Snitzer
opted for a graduate degree in
business at New York University.
That 'VITA at NYU was not his
initial contact with the business
world.
The music man's dad is
Edward L. Snitzer, a founding
partner in the Philadelphia in-
Andy Snitzer and his 'cool' sax.
