19 Aug 03 - 09:38 AM (#1004610) Subject: Back to Lessons...again From: Blues=Life Well, I'm excited. I finally was able to sign up with the best guitar teacher in town. Not only that, but I was able to find a slot for my 13 year old son. (School just started here, so it seems to make for a general shuffling of students for this teacher, and I lucked out.)I'm looking forward to rising off my current plateau and improving some skills. So the question is, anyone else starting something new these days? Remember, if you ain't learning something new, you just might be dead! *g* Blues |

I know you will enjoy it. Blues-Life, hope the lessons go well for you and your son. In an effort to kick myself off a writing plateau and finish a book I've been working on for a year I'm starting a difficult but motivational writing class in Sept and adding another, more high powered, critque writer's group to my schedule. If this doesn't work, I'll scrap the damn book and go back to trying to figure out D tuning... |

Who says life begins at 40? Keep trying to walk down those new roads folks ... Best regards John Robinson http://www.JulieEllison.co.uk |

Learned a few this year.... got a degree from the school of life, a diploma from the college of hard knocks and an 11+ from the kindergarten of getting the crap kicked out of you (with apologies to Cpt E Blackadder). Think I'll take up stunt riding - it has to be safer and less painful than this! LTS |
