I lived in Springfield, Il., from '77 to '80 and Don Cates helped me out with lessons and tips a couple of times. His playing was a lot more advanced than mine - he was a total Chalker enthusiast and could really play some stuff - but he was as helpful and patient as could be.
I lost track of him in the late '70s but I've always been grateful for his help and interest. He certainly had the chops to land an artist gig, tho I don't know if he ever did. So if you're out there reading this, thanks, Don, and check in and catch us up.
