Absolutely!!   Formal stuff is great to hear and see... informal happens 
ONCE and involves you personally.

At YOUR age Tim???   Do you want lessons??  :)

We just book the 'Stars'.  They strut their stuff on stage, we love it and 
learn a lot from it...  But they then get down to what they really love 
almost without exception... getting out of the formal and REALLY letting 
loose with their friends at ALL levels of expertise. The situation builds 
and you have a stellar experience.  Over the years this has always 
happened, let's pray it always will

We can't buy that... We just stand back and YOU make it happen.

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
