Robert, 

Congrats on yours NY POPS performance at Carnegie Hall....quite an honor not
many Harmonica Players get to play that hall !!

I wholeheartedly agree TOOTS has been a great inspiration to not only
Chromatic Players but to Jazz Musicians all over the Globe.....Viva Le
Toots!!

Best,
Rob Paparozzi
