A Christmas to remember. To the people I’ve met here. Thank you Rob.
For me it is the people. My family. My music mates. In my world it has always comes down to the people.
Christmas time is many things to many people. I wish for each of us that whatever we see Christmas as representing, it does at least for the moments we give to each other and to ourselves, exactly what we wish for all of us.
To Rob Kall. I send you my most sincere thanx for doing this. Because of you I have found more of me, a gift you gave me because you are who you are and it is the proof that as we each offer our sincerest alternatives, branches that sprout are grabbed onto, shaking more seeds into the soil below.
To Mark Sashine. Behind the surface I have found you to be a source of honesty I personally find rare. You are my argument that nothing is wasted. I know you are a bit uncomfortable when lavished with appreciation. Today, I lavish. If you think yourself not worthy, eat your checkers.
To Jan Baumgartner. Making your way through your life and still finding the time to be kind to others when life is not to you. To realize how temporal and precious each freaking moment is. Your sense of human is felt. May this season wrap you in all that is most important to you.
And to All of you here I have read, learned from, bartered and sparred with, I want to offer my grateful and humble thank you for caring enough to stay and include me in your busy schedules. I truly would like nothing more than to be in one big room with all of you.
Merry Christmas everyone. Happy Holidays, Feliz Navidad, Happy Hanuka, whatever your bent, bend it.
Peace. My, how I wish for that.
