I ran into my old friend Glen Naydan, who was playing in the string section for Smokey Robinson. He is now married and running a teaching studio in Santa Clara with his wife, a super pianist from a rich Thai family. He is also a cartoonist who recently illustrated a series of children's books.
He has a large whiteboard in his teaching studio and gets his younger students to play by saying, "Do you want to see a pig? If you play, I'll draw a pig!"
