These include organist Shea Velosso, Director of Music at The United Methodist Church in Milltown; Loren Fortna, Professor of Guitar at Montclair State University; Wilbur Watkin Lewis, basso and author of “Researching the Song (2006);” and Richard Biernacki BSG, piano, Director of Music Aldersgate United Methodist Church.
