      I’ve been anxiously awaiting the videos with Andre. Is there any update on the ETA?

      Hi, Blossom. I’m with you. We’re in the process of moving between studios right now…perhaps I’ll post a couple of pics on Facebook and link to that here in a sec.

      I did chat with Andre over the weekend, and we’re going to see about using his brother on piano backup for a couple of tunes and possibly one of the guitar players he normally plays with…as well as my brother on guitar. So we’re sorting that stuff out.

      Right now, I’m focused on getting the new studio up to speed in time for our newest instructor, Niall Murphy, to visit.

      I’m really hoping to have more time to devote to this project in the latter half of this year as I just went part-time at my regular 40 hr/week job. That will allow me to work on this project during the daylight hours instead the late nights…So I think the tide will turn here and we’ll get a ton done once the new studio is up and running. Thx for checking in on Andre’s stuff.

      P.S., Andre’s performances are off of the charts good. Seriously. That man is ridiculous.

      This is great news! Thanks, Casey. It probably goes without saying, but I have a small but relevant (petite mais pertinente) question… will his lessons be in English?

        Yep. Except for a few random phrases I assume are québécois cursing.

      Oh my gosh! You have been doing all of this in addition to a full time job? Wow. I hope you get a really good and long vacation someday.

        Yeah, FM. But we’ll get there!!

        Update: we cut guitar for 12 tunes this weekend. There will also be at least 3 technique tutorials in the initial release of Andre’s material.
