The teams line up

Even on a three-day weekend. Efrain, Jennifer, Samirah, Pam, Mark W., Clyde, Kindness. Each person I know brings a special
feeling. Jennifer has kept the faith for almost three years now since diagnosis, and never failed. Samirah I haven't seen in 14 years, and reconnected at last. I want to write about every one, I don't know that I will have the time. I certainly won't have the time to teach my 85 year old mother about blogs, but if she ever does, she is my hero of the lifetime. much less hero of the week. Goodnight all.

The feeling’s oh so strong.
You got to have friends
To make that day last long..."

Lagrima is much easier on your "little" guitar! Thank you for showing me how to play it even though you were so tired.

I'll see you soon.

Translation: I had fun seeing you this weekend. My favorite things to play with at your house are Smokey Bear, the guitar, the fountain, the "picker upper", and the Tiki Time Toy. Enjoy my daddy tonight - I think he's the best! I love you!

PS - Nice wheels on your chair - you should check out my stroller sometime and we'll cruise together :)

Hi Greg..

Long time no talk...can I just cut to the chase??? Paganini sucks! Oh sure his Sonata in E Minor is somewhat beautiful and sure it's lilting or whatever...But come on!!! I mean, I guess he could play violin, but what's this crappy guitar piece here for except to frustrate lil' old trailer-trash, tutor whores like myself into shamless oblivion...Are all of those sixteenth and thirty-second notes really necessary at Andante???...I am thinking more like LARGO...or maybe, just maybe LARGHETTO! My fingers are telling me: "get the hell off the fret board you doe-doe...you'll never finish this the right way..." Not to mention my ears which quipped: "your desperation has been surpassed only by your frustration and caused you much perspiration and indignation..."

Hey..I think that could be a classical RAP...new trend???

Oh well, anyway, got that off my chest...:)

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your inspiration...

Take Care, Dave Krutcik

Dear Gregory,
I've thought about you daily since learning about your illness. Samirah has kept me informed of your struggles. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I know you have great faith, and so do I. I pray that your health will be restored, and I can one day hear you play again, remembering well the informal concerts at my Mom's, sitting on the floor, transfixed, by your guitar.

Hello Greg,

I met you at Ginger's (Jen P.)house a while back you played for us at her wine tasting party. We had a great time listening to you while we sipped our wine. When we would go to the " cabin " she would play your cd the entire time and actually let me take it home for my future enjoyment. Don't worry about Jen and her playing I will glue the guitar to her hands and arms leaving the fingers free to play. I am very pleased to have met you. Your music will always be part of our lives.

Take care

Eva Norris
