Aug. 18, 2020
Since my departure from Mandolin Cafe, my concern has been that no one would find me, but while contacts have been, not surprisingly slower, MANY of you have made your way to my humble site. TO ALL OF YOU, MY DEEPEST APPRECIATION GOES OUT. Whether it's because some of you are familiar with my work and have told others about me, or your repeated orders, or just by lucky accident, you make my day better. I hope you remain SAFE,SECURE,INVOLVED,CHALLEGNED and that this quarantine brings you closer the your loved ones than ever before. To those of you who have experienced the loss of a loved one, my heart goes out to you. WE will all get through this!!
