luv that Bob. Those are the exact type of musicians that I gravitate towards. Don't care about the label they are given as far as their style just that they are so diverse and willing to play anything. Frank seem to be able to identify that type of musician for his music and they seem to respect and embrace the challenge of his style and want to play for him thus the end result was always thought provoking and of course very enjoyable for me anyway. And another great Berklee student too boot P.

I smiled quietly to myself when I saw the Berklee banner flash up. Friend of mine's son is there now. Can't wait to see him after he graduates. He was obviously very good for his age when he started.

yeah said she was one of the youngest teachers ever at Berklee, hired right after she graduated at 20.
also this
In the 53rd 2011 Grammy Awards, she won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, defeating teen pop recording artist Justin Bieber, indie rock band Florence and the Machine, folk band Mumford and Sons and hip-hop rapper Drake (entertainer). Bieber's fans, also called "Beliebers", targeted Spalding on the internet and her Wikipedia page, stating that she was not as popular as Bieber and that he should have won the award. They also incorrectly edited her Wikipedia page.

going to have to keep an eye on her in the future. Thank you
