Heller thinks it was all worth it.

Your blend of focus, heart, stamina and joy calls forth the best of everyone around you.

Thank you for trusting me with my part of your vision.

It was the ride of a lifetime.

As a player, performer, person, partner, he wrote.

We lived a lifetime.

If you think it felt like graduation, it did.

No more screaming lyrics with a perfect stranger whos now your best friend, Heller said of the tour.

No more Stage Right Obstructeds (my people).
