My thoughts and prayers are with Quentin's family. I had the pleasure of playing music with him only a few times, my father joined for many jam session. Listening to him play was my motivation. Thank goodness his CD's are now on my computer as MP3 files because I listen to them every day and probably always will. I wish the family peace. Aurelia Thomas
