Feel like I'm intruding on your wonderful dialogue here, but just had to remark on our local teaching wizard. He's an active musician in 4-5 genres, teaches a schedule of lessons during the days. Routinely he sets up little student bands that offer to play free for dance groups or minor festival stages or whatever. Some disband a while later, others become 'real' groups. It is absolutely amazing the number of students he has turned into musicians. He is a one-man folk promulgation machine. I respect anybody who even tries to do this. Bless yer hearts!
