R’ Andy is a talent like no other. He is truly in a league of his own, Though his most unbelievable trait is his humility and ehrlichkeit. R’ Andy has recently won the NEA heritage foundation award which is the nations most prestigious music award and will be honored at The Library of Congress in a few weeks. He is a very close friend of the great R’ Benzion Shenker and his music inspires and influences people across the entire globe. Much Hatzlocha! And thank you Rob Betesch for introducing R’ Statman to the Lakewood community.
Wow ! I would’ve loved to have known about it. I wouldve gone. Andy is unbelievable. He also played @ my Wedding, a few yrs ago. I’m sure he wouldve remembered. Dudi. B.
Wonderful musician. A true Modzitzer!!
