Paul Melrood is another one of my local heroes. Paul has been my Yiddish mentor for ages and helps me with pronunciation whenever i am working on a new piece that needs clarifying. I am indebted to Paul for the time he has given me so graciously.

Lil Rev & Lyle Ritz at The 2008 Portland Ukulele festival. Lyle was inducted into the Ukulele Hall of Fame and the real highlight for me was inviting him to play a few tunes in my set. Lyle is a real pioneer on the ukulele and i count him as a major legend.
