It was nice meeting you, rumbaking!

I remember this day, I couldn't warm up until very late that afternoon. That scale in Entre dos aguas got butchered as a result. Luckily, I had no problems with technique on my recital that evening...

what really blew me away was the day i brought a shakti c.d. to my lesson to let his father hear john mc laughlin play and grisha walked in the room and having never heard the c.d. began playing what mc laughlin had just played. his brain has to have some really incredible synaptic patterns to be able to pull that off.

I always thought this to be an amazing ability. Most people (99.9999%) could not do this. It truly shows the kind of musical genius that lies in Grisha's brain.

It's funny because Grisha reminds me of Lionel Messi in that both are geniuses at what they do, but some of the most humble people I've ever met.

Thanks Grisha....Believe me the pleasure was all mine!!!!

For everybody out there Grisha is a really nice guy and it was worth every penny to take lessons with him and it didn't bother me a bit to drive 3 hrs to Tallahassee and 3hrs back in the same day

.....Next time maybe I can get him to come to my city ....
