I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Karstens' passing. He taught me guitar when I was 12. I still play and have thought of him and his family often. I probably learned as much in the jam sessions with the family after the lesson. Ken was my best friend as a kid and I'm sorry we lost touch over the years. Please accept my sympathies.
