Hey Tom, I just wanted to let you know how effective your conference was. After watching you go to work on stage I ran out to my band practice and tweaked our live performance based on what you taught. The next night we performed for CMW and blew the crowd away with our newly choreographed, and cleaver set. Thank you so much, you are great at what you do.
