Thanks for helping to make the First Annual Los Angeles Accordion Festival a big success. Throughout the fest, people kept saying how much they loved your set. Seems you picked up some new fans that are heading to the Red Lion Inn to see you perform again. I really appreciated your commitment to the festival and squeezing us into your tight schedule. No pun intended. Best wishes, Pat
