In my humble opinion, the appreciation they are getting is a little lukewarm. Thanks to your blog, hopefully, more people will know, appreciate and give due credit to our truly talented musicians like Horace here. <br /><br />Horace lived his passion the way he wanted to regardless of how others do. I love and live my passion for music, although I did not work in the music industry. It took me more than 40 years to fulfill my dream to create a Stratocaster worthy of being one. <br /><br />Cheerio.MICHAEL LEE (SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3574244939174327228.post-62760751270914297462017-05-11T13:06:37.565+08:002017-05-11T13:06:37.565+08:00Hello Matt, your memories are crystal clear.
