I was saddened last night to learn of Susan Grisanti's death. I was one of her students at one time. She was always patient and full of encouragement. My talent is pretty limited but she encouraged me to play guitar for the pure pleasure of it. She was also very kind to my wife's grandson, and helped him become a musician. Susan loved guitar, and all varieties of guitar music, from high classical to folk, to blues, to rock and metal. She also taught keyboards. She was an excellent teacher and a wonderful human being. She will be missed. She was part of Lubbock's unique musical culture.
