[Harp-L] Re: Harp-L Digest, Vol 66, Issue 53

[Geoff Barrett <gbarrett5@xxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

Could I suggest that you should perhaps do like I did in trying to find 
a teacher inn the Tor/Ham area and go to www.harmonica academy.com and 
sign on with Tony Eyers in Australia for approx $30.00 a year.  He has 
the best structured prograamme anywhere of all the programmes I have 
looked at and his programmes make more sense than you will believe.

I have been working with his  for about 2 months and am on my Freshman 
year and doing well with his work.  Give it a try you will really enjoy it.

Geoff

PS sign up for 2 years just to make sure you get the programme and we 
then c=an compare notes
