I enjoy that story. Thanks for the kind words, and for remembering all that. I really appreciate it. Couldn't have done any of it without your words of wisdom. After my senior recital, Tina came up to me and said "I take the credit for all of your success." And now, my response to the Michael Jordan part: " Over twenty-five times, his team trusted him with the ball to make a winning shot and he failed to deliver. We don’t remember many of these instances, do we?" Write a blog comparing sports and music. As a musician, if you are trusted with the "winning notes" and you fail to deliver over twenty-five times (or really even just once), that's ALL anyone remembers - and you're fired. In baseball, it's considered good if you hit the ball 3 out of 10 times. And there's no crying in baseball?? Hahaha… I enjoy that story. Thanks for the kind words, and for remembering all that.
