I am so sorry to hear of Sean's passing. He was a gifted teacher with a wonderful sense of humor. My son Dan learned much about playing guitar from Sean. Sean knew how to make lessons fun. Many a night I would sit and watch Dan's lessons with Sean and enjoy the music they created together...and the good conversations that took place. I will always remember his warm and somewhat mischievous smile when he would tell my son Dan "Play guitar and you'll get all the chicks, they'll be falling at your feet" My son would laugh and Sean would say" I'm telling you the truth,you will be able to pick any one you want" my teenage son would have a gleam in his eye. Rock on Sean, I will miss you until we meet again on the other side.
