Mr.Marsh was my Music Teacher for 3 years at Memphis Technical High School Class of 1969. He taught me the meaning of music, how to appreciate the composers and to read the lyrics as poetry and the music as its soul. I had a terrible fright of singing in public, he helped me overcome it and after all these years I'm still singing. He was my mentor and I will never forget his smile, when I did it right, his frown, when I was wrong and his integrity as a teacher, who never gave up on me. I pray for his family in this time and may our Lord give them peace and His assurance that we will all meet again. God Bless.
