You are very special and I’m glad to know you as well. If you ever feel like working with a trumpet player on a collaboration I would be honored to work with you. Just to let you know I’m a classical trumpet player as well. I play both genes, classical and jazz.
My wife and I was so impressed and honor for your encouraging words with Jackie Michaels at the Indie Awards. For a while my niece pretty much quit singing due to mishaps in her life. It meant the world to me for your beautiful comment. You are very special and I’m glad to know you as well. If you ever feel like working with a trumpet player on a collaboration I would be honored to work with you.

Hi Danaë,
