Ed was without a doubt the most remarkable man I have ever known. He taught music to every being near him...even if they themselves could not play an instrument. He seemed to have what can only be considered super powers.....telepathy, mind-reading.....total recall of anything he read, including musical pieces, and the ability to inspire and wake up peolple and energies that had remained dormant...My years working under his direction were absolutely the most exciting and memorable moments of my life. I cant imagine how my life would have been without his indelible guidance and friendship. A man like this comes along very rarely to the Earth......and I will always be thankful to have known him. He also taught me unbounded knowledge of food and wine and to this day I utilize that knowledge every day of my life. So many thanks to this genious.
