      Griff, you’re the greatest and I wish you and yours the merriest of holidays. You have certainly taught me a lot over the last few months and that is greatly appreciated. I enjoyed meeting you and hearing you play at the ?Black Marlin Restaurant? (not sure of the name) and I hope to see you again on my frequent trips to SoCal. I came away from that gig knowing you are just like you present yourself on video and that’s a huge compliment. See you again and thanks again for your hard work and determination to better us all!!!!!! In my case, that’s a HUGE job.

    • Alex Mowatt

      Very funny video Griff. I do not know the other dancer/singers you persuaded to do that. I sent you an ecard via the regular website link. I suspect you will possibly not see that or at least until after Christmas. I just wanted to not let the seasonal festivities without showing that I appreciate all you do for us lesser mortals that would like to emulate your level of skill in playing. This Christmas is different for us but, I shall not reiterate all that here again. I sincerely hope you and your family have a great time and that you can get a break. In saying that I have just read that you are at down town disney playing. That is an area we, as a family, are very familiar with. Our son Robin always had it front and centre of his itinerary each year we holidayed over there. This is the first in twenty four we have not got over. Perhaps an early spring time break is on the cards. We have to take Robin to Celebration. Looking forward to hearing from you in the New Year. All the very best ALEX.

    • Peter Leyer

      • Gary Hylton

        Alex,

        I like your modesty, but I am reminded of a Keith Richards interview in which he said while holding his hollow body guitar, “Six strings and twelve frets. Every time I pick it up I learn something.” That’s how I like to look at it. I’ve been learning since I was 15, and will be 70 on January 15th. By the way Keith Richards just turned 71. I’m certain you play quite well!
