Greetings from Maine

[ErKat]

Hi!

My kids all went to a Rock'n'Roll camp during the summer and they had so much fun I figured I should have some fun too.
I had my first lesson last week and it is a riot.

Though I am in a different industry,
I was trained as a classical musician (clarinet, bass clarinet). I just managed to do, albeit slowly, the warm up arpeggio that my father used to start his daily 4 hour routine on the double bass. A very special thing for me.

I lurked around this forum a little and grew to appreciate the treasure of knowledge and generosity.
Glad to be here,

-Erez

Have you ever been to hear Bob Thompson? He’s a fantastic guitarist who lives in that area.

I used to love going record shopping in Burlington. Pure Pop for CDs and a shop whose name I can’t remember for reggae on vinyl.
