Featured Song: Thank you by Steve Sandberg
“Thank you so much for being here. This is such a blessing. I’ve never had the opportunity to hear anything like this. So expressive, so compassionate how you play. I can’t thank you enough. This has made my day and I will carry this with me for the rest of the week.”
