I hated finals week. Finals week was 24-7 quiet hours, which meant no serious guitar playing for a week.

They were there for Renee 24/7. I could not believe everyone who came by to help. People like Amy Kessler and many others. I was talking Earl Thom about it, and do you know what he said? He said of course they wanted to be there, they loved Renee and they are Hazel Parkers.
