Good wishes to you all. I was one of Marty's High School teachers. Perhaps one of the most colorful anecdotes of a brief teaching career was the several hrs spent with Marty one June afternoon. He had committed to mastering a guitar solo as part of his HS graduation requirement and, well I was holding him to it. There we sat in an empty classroom going over and over the chord changes until he played a very creditable version of ..... the solo to "Hotel California" by The Eagles. RIP.
