| Marvin is one cool cat and a class act. My dad and Marvin used to gig in Memphis(where Marvin hails from) back in the early 60s when my dad was doing his undergrad work at Memphis State. My dad speaks very fondly of that time and when Marvin comes to town it's pretty cool to listen to them talk and catch up. Even though they've taken very divergent paths on their musical careers, he's always treated my dad with class and respect.
Recently, I had the fortune of having a lesson with him It was an eye opening lesson in which Marvin basically found major fundamental flaws in my playing and he was very honest but fair with me and gave me some tips to help me as well as he helped get me in touch with someone here in Dallas to take lessons with. On top of that he didn't even charge me, which I was very grateful for but I felt kind of bad because he really did help me out a lot. Anyway, sorry for hijacking this thread but I had to chime in. |
