I think this is a phenomenal time, when we
can share our music with friends, old and new, all over the world. I'm really
enjoying catching up with friends I haven't seen in years and hearing the
beautiful music that they have put forth into the world. I've also been amazed
by the musical talent of those I've never met before. That's all we want as
composers and players, isn't it?...to be able to share the gift that comes
through us? Thanks for listening to my music. And thank you for sharing yours.
Peace...JB
