Notes
Just checkin in with my Homeskoolers after getting home from a weekend run with Little Vinnie's Traveling Circus

This summer has literally flown by my friends

Seems like just yesterday we were firing up the first rehearsals for this gig...
and now this upcoming weekend is the final run for our little ensemble…

and just take a guess what fine city will be hosting our final out of town show....

if you guessed Cleveland Ohio, you were correct.
how fitting right?

Here is the link to Uncle Larry's new instructional guitar course...over eight hours of detailed professionally shot multi camera lessons with tab....
if you check the comments and look at what people have commented on Gearpage (if you can stomach it) t has been getting rave reviews from even the most skeptical tight ass consumers who desperately WANTED to hate it.
