Nick, That's me in the photo next to Julia, and to my left are Steve Burnside, Ron, Tim Kness, and Briggs Brown. Briggs was one of the scholarship students from Louisiana. He often plays at DIs. Both Briggs and Braylin Daigle, Paul's son, have impressive rhythm. They are as steady as a rock,playing alone or in a band. That's pretty amazing in 13- and 14-year old musicians.

Agreed!

When I was 13 years old, I had a paper route
and a Teisco electric guitar!

(I was almost a Beatle!)

Hey guys,
What are the chances of getting some footage of the class? I would be glad to barter or whatever for a DVD.
Can you throw me a bone? I was in Ed Poullards class. After Steve Steinman mixes down our class, I could get some of that out.

By the way, I totally agree with you assessment of the week, Russ. Kickass!

thanks,
Kirk Jones
