I'm really excited to have been able to get my daughter all set up to take lessons from a guy who gave me my lessons back in late 1987. He was already excellent back then and had been around awhile and since then he spent 25 years in NYC at a recording studio and playing with jazz musicians and giving lessons, etc. Recently moved back to our area and so isn't full up with students yet. He still travels back to NYC weekly according to my brother, who used to play with him when I was little and who is still friends with him now and is the one who got us hooked up. I am so glad to have all that experience and expertise at my daughter's disposal. Her first lesson is tomorrow night, and then every Thursday at 5pm. $40 for an hour lesson.
I'm as excited as she is I think. We will be learning together in a way, because I"ll be staying for lessons and will absorb it as well. It's been many years and I didn't take lessons for too many months back then.
