Well sir, You've been a busy, busy man. I am proud of you because to complete a degree is an awesome feat but to do it with a wife and kids is superhuman. Congratulations to you and keep up the good work.

Hi Emmett,

Congratulations on completing two music degrees. That is incredible.

That is terrific too on all that your doing as a music teacher and pro musician.

You were always a superb trombone player and always did well on the business side of music too.

I'm in my 5th year of being Artistic Director at Jazz Workshop, Inc. at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh-Homewood.

It's been an interesting ride as Artistic Director of JWS, and I'm always tryin' to grow in this position and as a pro musician too.

If you ever visit Pittsburgh I'd love to have you jam with the JWS 3 PM Jazz Ensemble at the CLPGH Homewood Lower Level Auditorium.

Peace and Happy New Year!
