Mike: All this horrendous news today and it's hard to really be depressed over one single great artist like Tom Petty........but I can't help it!! I never knew any of the victims in Las Vegas and also never knew Tom Petty but I feel as though I did! This guy was a master with a perfect R&R voice and approach to song construction and you seem to have been very influenced by Tom as well with all your studies......RIP and man I'll miss Tom..........Gregg Allman as well..........it's also personal because these great artists from our childhood passing away reminds us of our own mortality but maybe....just perhaps.........we'll become a bit more sensitive and sharing with others...........you've already taught me this with your lessons (Christopher this includes you as well!) and careful breakdown of classic tunes and guitar styles that baffled most of us but also beloved great tunes.....It may seem like a small thing or a neat way to earn a living but you guys definitely approach these lessons as a lot more!! Just wanted to be nice especially today with all today's sadness in Las Vegas and Tom Petty and let you guys know you're appreciated!! I know it's not just a job for you....it's a complete passion!! Sorry if I'm too mushy!! Jim C.
