    Tom Demasters dear:
                    Thank you for your friendship and musicality.  Your jazzy and blues  repertoire is beautiful and a source of study for many musicians. Although my taste is more for country music, I know it was the magical blend of jazz & blues that once gave rise to Rock and since from that day the world has seen incredible bands and even progressive rock music, bursting out and beguiling generations and more generations of admirers everywhere. You own a good tuneful voice and play the heck of a guitar, my congratulations! I wish you a lot of success. A fraternal musical embrace from your Brazilian fan,

                             Taquinho Noronha

    Hi Tom,
       I knew when I read that Jerry Hahn was not only an influence but a teacher too and that you sometimes work with Dan Bliss, I knew you were going to be good...and boy was I right!!! Great stuff!!!

      If you're not working Saturday September the 19th I'll be at Aquarius Books in Kansas City at 8PM. 

      Thanks so much for adding me to your circle of friends!!
