      Rob Swift Rob, I thought about what to say. Thanks for showing us what's possible. Your musicianship invites a reinvestigation of how to find the music between the music. How to take something and flip it into something else. Your energy will be reverberating through the universe for a LONG time. Thanks for opening minds.
