To those who have been most influential in my musical life.
The Glorious Sound
Dedications
In Dedication

To professor Hildegard Jo Stanley
of Brewton-Parker College, Mt. Vernon, Georgia.
Who, through her guidance and vitality,
has had a profound impact on my education and vocation.


In Appreciation

To Wynelle and Julius Blazs

To Wynelle, my first piano teacher, who taught
musicianship and taste by example, and embodied the "gospel"
of Theatre Organ by her excellent gospel organ playing in the
tradition of Harold DeCou and Paul Mickelson.

To Julius, for his Christ like example and dedication to our Lord,
and his profound influence on my life through his early Ministry in Music
at Beaver Street Baptist Church, Jacksonville. FL.

In Memory

In memory of Helen “Yi-Yi” Nice,
my much beloved first organ teacher,
who taught so much more than
notes on the page, and
instilled in me the concept
of playing musically and with
feeling.  

In Memory

In memory of C. Carter Nice, Jr.
(Helen's brother)
Who, as the owner of the
Nice House of Music,
gave me my very first
job - playing the organ
at Christmas
in Roosevelt Mall
(Jacksonville, FL)
when I was 10 years old.
