Loved this! Rodriguez’ honesty, enthusiasm and generosity are abundant. His humble approach when a student paid off. His story is an excellent example for learning. His respectful attitude when living in another culture brought him many gifts. The parts about silence, the breath and the treasures found in knowing this instrument were informative and delightful. I am glad to join you on this musical pilgrimage
Thanks Shayla! Glad you enjoyed the conversation.
