Phil Nimmons at Yamaha.com.
I couldn't believe it. He's 82 years old and one of the greatest Jazz composer/player alive. He played with a few of the greats to. He's also sponsored by Yamaha so they take him and his band all around the world and .. he ... gave me ... $1256.17. :D
Anyway it's been my dream to study and play in his band and It's great to know I'm getting closer! Anyways I'd like to thank some people being Malver, and Splattergnome for the inspiration they've given me to write more music and to play harder. Sounds wierd but you guys helped. :D Thanks.
And since there aren't many people who do what you do, hopefully you'll be a big fish in a small pond!
