(Ralph's notes....I'd like to give thanks to many for supporting me, who have provided me the priviledge of being a full timer all my life. First is God, who has blest me the tools to be doing what I'm supposed to be doing on His earth. Next is my gentle & beautiful wife, Mari, with her loving patience, kindness and support, allows me to be me. To my encouraging parents, Vinnie & Claire. To all my children, brothers and sisters and their families for their patience, perseverence and acceptance of all aspects of my life through the years. To my pianistic mentors: Elizabeth Dagdigian, Dr.George Zilzer, Harvey Diamond, Bob Winters and "the chairman of the board", Charlie Banacos. To my current students and to my past students of 31 years....I love you all...(especially when you practice)!..................................................................................................................................................................................................................

ME........ musicianship and sound is akin to our personalities. ....You are who you are due to the intrinsic gifts bestowed upon you, in addition to your life's major influences. Take a deep look into your personal life and check out the many people who motivate you and then the ones who ....don't. In even simpler terms....who you aspire to be like and who you chose to dispose of. Musically, you are yourself & what you have chosen to listen to, study, transcribe & emulate. I am me.....& you are you...plain & simple.
