Nick, I am so sorry to hear about your beloved brother Bruce. I very much enjoyed my conversations with him at the Fest. Seemed like for years I would be reacquainted with Bruce at Musikfest...sometimes when you weren't in town. I came to the conclusion that he loved music as much as I do. I promise you he will come to mind at some point during the fest this year. May the memories of Bruce be a blessing...and bring some comfort to you and your family.
