I miss you so much Glenn! Thanks for your email a while back, I hope SLC is treatin you well, or at least the students! Every time I have a Tres lesson I think about what you're going to do with this instrument when you get a hold of it. I can't wait. You're forever THE MAN. Until January, xo
Hi Glenn here just to say hello and tell you that i like very much your music (especially the riff of "F5" very cool and power! It's a pitty that i can't find the lirycs of this song :-((... ) "The Black Line" it'a another great and beautiful song, bravo Glenn! When your new album? I'm waiting for! Ciao"
HI thnx for the friendship and it’s nice to know you! Think it’s nice to be connected with musicians all over the world. In music we are all alike and speak the same language!!! I think you have very nice music, I enjoyed listening to it…… really sounds GREAT ….love it !! Greets from “D E E Z E L” (Belgium) and lots of luck in every thing you do!! If you can find the time check out my music too (thnx)
hope you're having a nice break. i wish it were warmer. but in forty years when all the glaciers have melted i probably wont be saying that, so i'll enjoy what there is now.
I'd be lying if I said I didn't miss waking up too early on Tuesdays hungover with three hours of sleep to trudge through the snow and play guitar badly in your genius presence. I picked up Kind of Blue and Bill Evans's Compact Jazz, and am halfway through Effortless Mastery. That book should be called "Buddhism for Musicians" 'cause it is mad cool. I hope your holidays were good, see you in a week and a bit!!
hey! thanks a lot! i'm so excited to play next semester!! dustin and i are halfway through the CIM improv workshop that started on monday and it is amazing...i got my first chart put in front of me yesterday! the faculty is awesome and i can't wait to bring what i learn here to your class! have a great rest of the break and i'll be seeing you soon!
Happy Holidays! I've just released my first ever Holiday CD, "Six String Santa" and it's only available here, online. Please visit my homepage to order a CD or download and let us be a part of this years Christmas party! Thanks, Jeff
