"Beautiful I just wanna let you know your my special girl....."

[ELYANish]

Sparkling and very beautiful voice

[Pirate7X]

@brainsareus Yeah, her energy when she speaks and plays is infectious.

[Bassplaya919]

her explanation from 1:45 to 2:00 is exactly what seems to be lost with musicians today. Need to spend more time playing and less classroom!

[ldpoetess]

@windangelmoonkid It IS such a powerfully beautiful statement :) Im not even gonna mention her music *sighs*

[herbpittman]

Roots! please she needs to record with Herbie Hancock!, George duke , Idea section her with Bobby Lyle Paul Jackson Al dimiola, or some bad ass Cuban Cats like Gustavo Ramirez,sheila Escovedo etc. she is the real Business and still Green as an Avocado!!,,....imagine her in 10 years or so! MONSTER.

[27kwanchi]

[GeniusIgnorance]

[brainsareus]
