: Francisco) I'll email you when my schedule
: firms up about a private lesson.
: Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward

I'm glad you can make it to Port Townsend. It is a great event and a really beautiful spot. As Ari says, he and I will be doing a duet workshop one afternoon where we will teach both parts to some classic Country Blues duets. I am reallly looking forward to working them out and hearing how they sound when we get together. In my classes, I will be focusing on a different topic each day, with an emphasis on building the skills needed to figure out the music by ear. We will be working from recordings in class. I haven't yet figured out what I will be doing at each class session, but know that one will be devoted to songs of John Jackson, with another devoted to singing and playing at the same time.
John
