Tribute from Toni Martin
SUBMITTED BY: Toni Martin
One year attending, as most, my cousin Ann Marie and I bought the Festival tshirt and wore them the next day. Terrence Blanchard had performed and afterward, was in the lower level to sign CDs. Sitting next to him was Ed. When our turn in line for ‘Meet and Greet’ came, Ed asked did we want Terrence’s autograph. We politely replied that we could get Mr. Blanchard’s autograph anytime, we wanted Ed’s!!!! He was kind and flattered, I think, to know his autograph was the one we sought! He signed the back of our shirts, we thanked him, and left on a cloud!! We still gotta get Terrance’s. LOL
