Kudos to Mazz !

Post by tomaragon » Tue Nov 11, 2008 5:53 am

Towards the end of one of the listening panels they played a great quirky piece that was simply outstanding...............I leaned over to my wife and whispered that this was my favorite trackand I loved the uniqueness and humor and dynamics of the track.David Trotter gave it a glowing review and asked who did the song.....Low and behold our very own John Mazzei stood up with both hands in the air and the crowd went nuts! You da man John!!!!!!!!!!BIG congratulations ..........Very proud of you....Also, John was the very first DOT I said hi to when we first arrived at the Rally.......... Maybe some of that genius will rub off from that handshake!

Mazz, the proper rockstar response you should have said to that kind of praise is, "Yeah, I know, I'm the shiznit." Just kidding, LOL!!! Congrats Mazz!

When I heard that I remembered hearing it before (I think he had posted it on the forums). It's a great quirky little piece that seems to just fit Mazz

I was there also. It was a great moment! This wonderful piece of music came on and when they said that it was composed by Mazz, a huge rush of excitement came upon the Dots and people sitting near him. It was like a personal cheering section. The sincere thrill for the success of someone you know, even though I just met him that morning over coffee with a group, was very special. I hope you have a lot of success with that composition. Bob

it was very cool to hear Mazz's piece get played, it was so obviously well composed and produced!!! And I'm so grateful for all John's help on my journey, too.
