Hey Rudy! I have been crazy busy lately so I have just now been able to get back here and find out that you won!!!!! Congrats! I know that might mean you just got really busy but if you have time when I get back from vacation, I would still love to write with you!
You have EVERY idea of how I am so proud of you since first meeting and working with you on stage as far back as 2004 with Atlants's Guild of Sound. You are a multifaceted individual [a true Gift to those who have yet to witness you], and your future in the Arts is only balanced by how well you embrace the eventful (both positive & negative) occurences that will yet happen for you and your crew beyond Hyde Park, London. Stay focused and handle the Business properly. We spoke about this on the phone a few days ago. I know you'll do it!
To say "congratulations" seems inadequate to me. To see "keep your eyes on the horizon" also seems inadequate to me with you in mind. Rather, think in terms of the most efficient and effectual route to take to get there with others in mind. You are destined for this, my real-time friend!
Suss!
P.S. For the benefit of our MySpace Community, Rudy is playing sax on this tune entitled "Conception" written by Steve Freeman, a Guild member. I've long had permission from Steve to upload this and, in fact, just spoke with Steve earlier this week. The Guild was perhaps one of the most inspiring groups I've ever had the privilege to work with. Yet there are priorities in Life that cause us to navigate a different route toward the horizon of our Dreams. You Rudy are at the Conception of your career that will bless many people worldwide with both the complexity and simplicity of virtuosity. Be virtuous, since the Victory has already come! (whew!)
