When I get around my
students and these young people
keep me grounded and sane. I come to their table
and they
encourage me with their warmth and their talent. Their
company is graceful,
engaging and captivating.

They are like these
unrecognized giants in my
life that deserve a reservoir
of goodness.
They energize me. They inspire me to want to know more so
that I can do better in trying to give them more knowledge
that they can apply to their own lives and journeys. I never
expected that you could learn so much through sharing your
wealth of wisdom and experience. I actually give myself
homework when I am around them; especially because I do
not know so much about music. I am just a singer and was
never really a student of music; though I would acknowledge
the artists I listen to as my teachers. I only took one formal
class series at Jazz Mobile which was over a three month
span of time. I can say, the more I want to give them, the
more research I do to find what I need to share with them for
vocal health and for help with their music.

Thunderous acclaim is definitely suitable for how they
propel
me with sheer confidence. They truly bless my life in every
way.

with me yours.
