Congratulations Leif with what was your dream come true!

Very nice meeting you after the soundcheck. You and Joe looked like a very nice team. Maybe a song performance together in the future?

As we agreed: please put your story on this topic too.

You are a diamant!
( Please greet  your parents from me)

This item might have been missed by a wider audience, tucked away in the Carre topic, so I'm taking the liberty of copying it here, together with my congratulations to Leif on this great achievement! cool

I haven't found any links to an official announcement yet, but will post as soon as I do.

You won the contest Leif? Too cool!! Congratulations.
I knew this would happen though, you just rock. Your playing had a real jaw-drop effect on several people (including me) ... keep it up and I will be one of the first ones to buy your first album when it comes out. cool

Great meeting you!

Eva

My google translator did a fair job to English. Got most of it. I think there is some colloquial Dutch in there that the machine had a problem with.

Perhaps one of our fine Dutch speakers could help out.   hmm  Rick

Re: Special request of 14 year old boy from holland

I´m sorry that I have to rave about your playing once more, but THIS was just unbelievable Leif.
I nearly started crying ... so beautiful. You´re sure you´re just 14 years old?? I´m speechless, really ... you can be so proud of what you already achieved - and I´m sure there´s still more to come during the next years. Jeff would be proud of you, that´s for sure. wink Also nice to see your dad in the video ...
Wow!

Eva

I placed your pick next to Warren Haynes´ pick - good place?? wink

Re: Special request of 14 year old boy from holland
