I was running through all the newsletter article titles and found this one.

Link Wray's tunes were some of the first instrumentals I was taught. Turns out Link was playing in clubs just a couple miles from where I was taking lessons. Even more memorable (for me ;) ) was my first-ever date...a hop at my high school featuring Link Wray...
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
