Re: A Personal Thank You From Kent Pearson
Kent,
Thanks for the link! I really enjoyed your playing, especially your cover of
"Little Wing" .. a person favorite and really a nice job by you. Great tone
and the ability to play with feeling. I so impressed I just put you in my
favorites! Hopefully, you'll be touring in the Rockies someday so I can
catch a live show. As far as the troll .. I've always taken the stance of
ignoring such idiots but I must thank him for putting me in touch with such
a quality musician.
Thanks and take care,
Crispy
