Among my most prized possessions are several books he autographed for me while he was still alive. I really miss him. I'm curious what your favorite Buk book is...? I'm partial to Play The Piano Drunk... as that was the first book of his I ever read. It made a huge impact on me.
I look forward to chatting about books with you too. Cheers!
