Gene--The full story is quite moving. This young lady was holding her grandfather's hand when he died. He was her music mentor and after he died, she couldn't get back into playing. She wrote an incredible eulogy for him. I sent a copy to Mr. Marsalis' NYC office, knowing she admired him. They were so moved, they wanted to make this meeting happen.

John-- The stain's a scanning problem.
