Ditto, Steve. During the coupla years that I had lessons with Glenn,  
he would not take a dime from me, even at the beginning before we  
became friends. When he moved out of the city, it wasn't practical to  
continue lessons at such a distance from where I live, and I saw much  
less of Glenn. It was mostly on your gigs that we were reunited, and  
I found that the friendship, the warmth and the respect had not  
waned. We all could stand a few more Glenn Dodsons in our lives.
Cheers,
John
