Dear Sonny,
Sadly, it has been many years since I last picked up my tenor. Musicians Dystonia slowed my performing and a crack addict took care of my beautiful Mark VI, with original lacquer, that Emilio Lyons modified for me, that belonged to my grandfather, who taught me how to play.
I had the wonderful pleasure of studying with Joe Viola, When I first met Joe, I remember reading a letter you sent him that was hanging in his office. I thought that having a letter hanging on Joe Viola's wall was a great honor. I asked Joe for a recommendation for scholarship. He asked me to write a letter for him, and he would sign it. When I returned with the letter, Joe said that if there was a Pulitzer price for scholarship letter writing, I would have won it. The following week, when I returned for my lesson, I noticed that he had framed a copy of my letter and it was hanging next to your letter to him.
I don't want to wander off course here, so I will end with a sincere thank you for the joy and inspiration that your music provided me.
Peace and Blessings,
Frank Bozak
