Remarks
"Thank
you so much for all that you have done for me. You were the first
person that gave me some real musical direction, even though I had been
playing a few years before. I have loved coming over to learn new
things. And the things you showed me inspired me to play well. Because
of you I was able to be exposed to and play great music that I enjoy
very much . . . "
