Actually, I did those relatively new to the profession a bit of a service by pointing out to them one  far more affordable and easily accessible alternative than the costly online option your self-promoting here.

Hey Kev, funny we should be communicating this way instead of calling but wondered if any of you out there would want to start a sub group of residential for traditional/classical. Not many out there but I think would help to focus the discussion. Not that interested in what’s ‘hip’. Trying to keep a long view. No offense to the fashionistas. ps…[Read more]

Thanks Noelia! Feel free to ask questions and contribute.

@Chris. The guide from mr. Haskin is terrific. Thanks a lot for sharing this, very useful. I was wondering how to get this effect for quite a long time, since I am autodidactic. Appreciate it.
