I thought maybe this would be a way to get us going on this week's tune, also a great chance to break out my new gourd!

It's great watching you turn into a monster right before our very eyes.

Nice sounding gourd btw

Aw, shucks! Its good you can't see me blushing right now, with my head its a scary sight! Thank you so much, Tim, I deeply appreciate all the help you've given me.

Seriously...that is so gutsy, to put yourself out there like that with video. BUT....and as I have found, it is where you grow. You lay a  mark "this is how I play right NOW".

That's exactly what I set out to do about a year ago. It was "here's where I am now, let's see where the journey takes me." It's been quite a ride so far.

Yea. Look back to gain perspective.

You are doing a lot better on the breakdown than I am Lee.  I kind of think of you as my partner in crime on the Tune of the Week.  Tim is like our Yoda, thanks Tim.

I know what you mean, Tom. I'm really glad to see you doing videos of your own. I think it can be good for others to see our learning process.

Well done Lee.  I'm so happy you are doing well on that gourd- it sounds great!

John's hand me downs are my best instruments! Thanks, Lisa!
