Coming to see this tonight. Excited!
Hello Byron. Last night’s show was yet another Academy Award-winning performance by our favorite ensemble. Larry Cook stole the show. You have always been generous in introducing and complimenting performers. Many in the audience were not familiar with Larry and your reference to him was not heard over the cheering. Hopefully you will receive this in time to give him more verbal “high fives” during the next 3 shows. He is a great talent both in performance and arranging and we feel deserves a larger introduction. Let’s give him enough R.e.s.p.e.c.t. for several return visits. Keep up your good works.
