[Harp-L] Help, Please read !!!!!

["Abner Galdos" <cdgaldos@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

sorry about the title, but I need to thank these guys.  In our lives we meet people and remember them when they pass.  We tend to forget and thank them when they are here.  I won't make that mistake..
To all the guys and gals on Harp l who have sent me advice both on and off list I thank you very much.

This is my first recording with John.  My playing has improved a little since then..
Last night at open mic was fantastic, I had a great time playing.
I need to thank you all for your help, encouragement, and constructive criticism.
I was able to play "oh daddy" with Wendy.
"Amy"
"sign"
"House of the rising sun"
"Train, Train" With Richard's help and Geoff improvements We did it....

Richard, Connie says we did great together and we should try to do something of our own.... John will not be there next open mic, But I will.

John you wont read this email but, but its been over 3 months since we stared playing. And last night was very good... Thank you for letting me take center stage.... Whets the use of playing if all one does is stand around waiting...
Soon with a ton of practice I will be singing once I find that right sound.... my sound... Then I would have to learn how to memorize words...

Richard ( Harp L member)thank you for your continuing lessons and also lettering me take center stage.. At first I was very intimidate by your sound... but not you... you are one great guy.... I'm very luck to know you.... if it were not for you and taking me outside and showing me how simple Train Train was I would have had a hard time....
Connie told me We both complimented each other very well... She commented on how I stated the song with the train whistle the crowed perked up... and we did not let them down. I practice so hard on the open train riff that I did not practice the rest of the song....

Geoff (Harp L member)once again my man thank you... for someone being so far away you have helped in so many ways.  You hammered in what my wife told me I should do... but you cleared it up, so I could understand it...

Connie you did it you sang "Rhiannon"  Once you keep going up on stage you will lose that fear and exchange it with fun.
I had a great time playing and being on stage with you...
So, keep on buying me toys......

love you all
