Thank you SPAH! I am truly Honored beyond words! This group (Spah) has meant so much to me as a resource for technical education (I have grown so much as a player as a direct result of this organization), fellowship amongst people and players (lifelong friendships) , and a breeding ground for the youth and the future of this instrument as well equally an amazing resource of tradition where one can directly interact with some of the greatest older players alive from many genres of music who came before myself and paved the way! I am humbled, flattered, honored and beyond grateful to SPAH, it's tireless workers and volunteers and all of it's members who chose me as a nominee. THANK YOU! -Jason Ricci
