Some groups are nationally known, some regionally and some local, but they're all giving their time. Giving back and sharing is the whole idea of the Gala.

As my playing progressed I started playing Santana and Jimmy Hendrix.

The blues for me ? you just feel it. It's one of the easiest forms to play, but very few people can make other people feel the blues when you play it. If it wasn't for the blues I wouldn't even want to play the guitar.

How can I stand before you in silent symbols with open palms?

We get back more than we give; that is, giving is an investment.

We are not sharing it or giving it away.
