Thank YOU, MAESTROS! Your music was -and still IS- part of my life’s soundtrack. I went to your concert, Chick, when you played in my hometown (Montevideo, URUGUAY). Our prestigious Teatro Solis was really packed. Gary, I’ll be one of your students in your online course about improvisation next April, and I hope you play here some day. Congratulations!!!nBig hug from Uruguay,nnPablo Martu00ednez
