Hi Eliza,

as you are seeing, a WIDE variety of players are here and always very helpful so happy harping…..

since you are  huge MY FAIR LADY FAN, I thought you'd enjoy my little Chromatic solo on this version of 
"Wouldn't it be Loverly",-)

I'd like to say publicly here that I think his book is great, clear and amazingly effective in a field where I had expected that nothing but face-to-face lessons (not available in my town, as far as I know) would do. Thank you, Mr. Yerxa.

I'm really called Elisa (that's the Spanish version of the name, which is not considered the short for Elizabeth -Isabel- but a different name). 'My Fair Lady' has always been my favourite film, so I started to be called Eliza Doolittle, after its central character, by my schoolfriends, and by now it sounds to me almost as if it were my real name and not a nick.
