"They don't???"
"No honest, I'm not being a smart ass"
"No I didn't just swear at you, I was just sa........"

The only reason Mike posted all this was he's on a work release program and can't get a passport.:D

I'll be interested see some of the other responses here...

1) Chuck Bartels. He teaches at Berkley music and Detroit school of rock and pop. He travels a lot though so it's helpful if you are flexible with your Schedule. I can give you his contact info if you want.

2) Bob Degorge. Never studied with him he has a good rep. around town. Very friendly guy, good player. He teaches at axis music in Southfield. I think I have his contact info.

3) Dan Pliskow. Faculty member at Wayne State. Again good rep around town but I hear he's a totally old school jazz guy so if thats not your thing I suppose I'd look elsewhere. You can find his contact info on the Wayne State Music Department page.

Chuck is a sissy
Bob is a punk
And Dan will flat out kick your ass. In a good way.

I know all three guys pretty well. Dan will teach you music.
Chuck and Bob will as well, but more "bass" oriented.
Dan is the guy IMO.....
