My Visit with HKVal
Hello all.
I wanted to share with everyone here my awesome experience this past week. Howard and his wife, Val, were so kind and generous to welcome Christine and myself into their beautiful home while were on vacation in Naples. While there, we were able to put faces to names and further solidify the friendship bond that we share here on AA. With Howard and I being who we are, we weren't going to let this opportunity slip without getting a demo in. Howard had all the great nuances to a wonderful demo thought out and prepared; he even allowed me to sit in the 'sweet spot' on the couch in his own home. With my copy of the demo list in hand, we started our listening session. I really enjoyed all of the selections Howard had made for I hadn't really heard much from the majority of the artists. That certainly didn't take away from the experience but rather enhanced it. A few of my favorites included instrumentals from Lee Ritenour; Melody Gardot's rendition of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow;' Larry Carlton (I'm a sucker for a great harmonica); and Euge Groove (track 5 on the Born 2 Groove album). I cannot put into words how much I enjoyed this whole experience with Howard, Val, and Christine. Even after the music was over, we all sat around and got to know each other even better. I would like to thank Howard and Val again for everything you did, we truly appreciated it. I would also like to take the time to thank Ivan for all of his time and effort. We all know things like this and more wouldn't be possible without such a great person leading the way. Many many thanks, Sean P.S. - a couple of pics to follow shortly |
