  • From This Moment – accomp track

  • Summer NAMM 2013
    I attended the Summer NAMM show in Nashville. One of the booths was having a contest to win a midi controller – play one key as many times as possible in 60 seconds. Sadly, I can in third. Oh, well! I’m looking on while Wanda Patrick [who teaches at Young America Music in Macon, as do ...
