Hi Vi,
Welcome back to Colorado. A friend shared this link with me. I was classically trained and I’m still trying to not sound like a classical player when I play bluegrass. I am not sure if I will be able to make your workshop at the end of the month as I work down in Denver (in IT) and traffic is usually crazy. Are you planning on doing anythink like this workshop down in Denver?

I don’t have any plans to, but I am game to do a workshop in Denver. Since I would be driving an hour to do the workshop, I would want to have preregistration required so that I have a count in advance. Is this something that you could help promote in Denver?
Thanks,
Vi
