So I''m listening to a concert broadcast for a local Boston bar when "Jesse" comes over the radio while I'm walking across the still frozen fenway after I had studied for three hours.Had I just known this was going to be part of the show I would have bought a ticket.

Todd is the artist that takes the chances, this is his own art, by never adhering to the rules, he has become one of the finest musical icons of our time!! Keep on Todd, you and your music are loved!!
