Ever wonder what it must have felt like to be at Minton's to hear Charlie Parker or in Lisbon to see Maria Callas? Well I found out today. I'll tell my grandkids...I saw Hilary in Chicago and she opened the heavens with Bach. Hilary Hahn we are so grateful! 🙏

.Paulinho da Viola você é uma inspiração para mim. Acho que guitarristas solo deveriam criar arranjos de suas belas melodias. Eu fiz um para você e espero que goste. Te mandando amor de Chicago! youtu.be/u2eQeYFITdw
