Your son, told me about you playin with Micheal Jackson & the Jackson 5...in the song "ABC"... after I wrote out some verses from it in an email the other day. Love that song... I can see you've done much more than that... beautiful work...thanks for instilling musical genius into your son, really... his music makes my day.
Hello Mr. Hyde, Great smooth playing, yet with all the right intricate notes that a good jazz tune needs, but in a subtle way. Thank you for adding me and have a perfect day, Liz J
