    I feel so old, a lot of the music she’s playing, I have seen in concert during the 70’s, now this young girl has taken it to a whole new level, she’s definitely going places with her own style of playing.

    I have a 17 year old granddaughter who while she's an artist, she's not a musician. But her demeanor reminds of her. I'm a guitarist for over 50 years. So I appreciate good musicians . Good luck my dear.

Wishing you a great long and successful career Grace. Just the fact that you mentioned BB, Carlos, and Joe tells me I'm a fan of yours already. Cheers young lady.

    WOW, I'm proud of your music tastes and your guitar heroes are mine too. I saw Santana when I was 13. My brother took me. I was already listening to the music he and my sisters listened to. My dad played folk and flamenco guitar and some classical. So us kids had broad tastes. I wish you lots of success and enjoyment in your career. Please watch out for the industry sharks. They have ruined many with drugs and pressure. Good luck 🍀
