Thanks, John.
Actually, I have been doing some thinking about what I'll be teaching. I don't think I'll be doing Scrapper Blackwell, even though he's great, because I don't play much by him. (I'd be happy to show you some stuff informally, though.) I haven't decided for sure, but I'm thinking of doing a class on some of Rev. Gary Davis's early recordings. There seems to be more emphasis on his later work at the expense of his absolutely stellar 1935 recordings.
I'll keep you posted.
