Hello Wayne,
yes I really did enjoy listening to the samples on your player ... what difference it makes without and with one of your wonderful horn arrangements. And to hear all those signature horn parts you did with The Memphis Horns for so many timeless old soul recordings. It is just lovely stuff that will stay forever!
All the best from Berlin,

Wayne:

Thanks for adding me. It was great meeting you Sunday at Stax. I was the annoying fan/musician from GA that was so excited to meet you I probably babbled incoherently as I interrupted your conversation! Nonetheless I hope you'll forgive me and again, it was great to meet you! Your music has meant the world to me.
