I would like to pay tribute to my former teacher/mentor, Mr. Englen. He taught me so much about music (as my teacher), and even more about life (as my mentor). I was never close to any family members that have gone, but I viewed Mr. Englen as the closest thing to a "real" grandfather/friend/teacher etc... He was everything to a lot of people. He is truly missed. I hope that, wherever he is, he is watching and knowing what I have become and that he is approving of my decisions. He is truly the only person that I have ever sought approval from. My respect and thoughts are always with him.
