I will be a long time processing what happened tonight. It was an extraordinary, and love filled, experience. Everything you imagined as you listened in, was going on in that room. The assembled talent was wonderful, but not the highlight. It was the whole feeling that emanated from every email, from every phone call, and from every performance. Every person was focused on this remarkable gift that we have all been given. The friendship and love of Rick and Heather. It is what drove every thing I saw. You could feel it, you could smell it, you could almost touch it. It was a celebration of a helluva good CD, but moreover it was a sincere expression of gratitude for a man and a woman who always have the time to teach and reach out to others. I am rambling here, because it is late and I am intoxicated on the moment. But of one thing I am sure. What happened tonight was a remarkable expression of love, friendship, and gratitude. I think I shall never forget this.

All the best,

Mick
