It's one thing to be melancholy and one thing to be sophisticated, but when you get the two of them together in a way people can relate to, then I think you're on to something. You want the sophistication to lie in the purity of the sound, the beauty of the arrangements, and the quality of the performances."-Trumpeter Chris Botti-- -- Chela Robles AIM and E-Mail: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxx Skype: jazzytrumpet WindowsLive Messenger: cdrobles693@xxxxxxxxxxx Facebook Profile: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?ref=profile&id=690550695 Cell: 1-925-250-5955 I Volunteer for a non-profit organization called Bookshare, to find out more go to: http://www.bookshare.org -- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott Rains" <scottr@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <bksvol-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2010 10:43 AM Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Re: Puzzled about all our new vounteer requests > Thanks Pam.
