Thank you Laura for making your lovely place available for a wonderful evening. That was a great time!
Thanks so much Tony and Mosa for all the excellently chosen music and so knowledgeable about the music they played and the idea they share. I learned and enjoyed so much by listening.
Mosa, what a pleasure to hear you play and talk about the music with you. Hopefully I will get another chance to watch your perform.
