2016 has not been such a good year for well known people. But what about those who encouraged, taught or influenced us.
Lets give recognition to anyone who is no longer with us but gave us the encouragement to suceed with our musical or other abilities.
Whether they are relatives, friends, teachers or poeple you have seen who have inspired you. lets praise them. Famous or not.
Mine was my music teacher at school. Although I didn't take up playing the bass untill i was 49 I always hear her voice in my head encouraging all her pupils, regardless of ability, to listen to, play or just enjoy all types of music.
Unfortunatly her name escapes me, but thank you
