I just have to figure out how to edit the blog - I’m better w music sometimes!


Anyway, this contest was a blast. Thank you to Peter for his incredible musical instruments and to all the contestants, whose music was amazing. I am honored to have been part of the contest and it has been so much fun to get to know the Synquanon system up close.
