“Everybody played so well and knew exactly what to do and what not to do and there’s this really great feeling that comes out of it that I did not expect at all. I expected some kind of maybe overly-reverent, still kind of playing and it turned out to be so lively, and the music sounded so alive and as I say, it just really held up and the audience got super into it because that stuff is great and they play great. I just feel proud to be a part of it and I love listening while I’m waiting to play.”
