To my friend, Jeff Lightfoot, a person I admire and respect. Jeff is also one of the finest musicians I have ever known and had the good fortune to have worked with in more than 34 years of playing. I learned so much from Jeff while we worked together. He challenged me to improve my playing ability and to stretch beyond my current skills to become a better musician.
Thank you Jeff for making me push myself but most of all, thank you for your friendship, especially after all the years. I wish you the happiest of birthdays and continued happiness and prosperity for you and your family.
