    Thank you Dinah. If I can assist anyone's understanding, I'm always
    happy. I'm right between Miami and Ft. Lauderdale, not far from
    Hollywood Beach. I don't conduct workshops, mainly because there are
    so many others more qualified than I am, at least ability-wise. Don
    teaches some incredible classes on fabrication, casting, lapidary
    and who-knows-what-all up at the Boca Museum of Art.
    www.bocamuseum.org The man really knows his business and is very
    good at explaining things from different directions and
    perspectives. His real strength, IMHO is helping the student find
    their own method or "groove" that works best for them. That's how
    art is best created, and craft is best learned, I think. It's also a
    rare characteristic in an instructor. Most simply insist on the one
    method that works for them. Don encourages students to experiment
    and find their own gig. 

    While I do have a newer Johnson company "modeling" amp, my favorite
    is an old Fender Bassman. Cascading the two inputs gives me a tone
    that sounds heavenly for the blues, my favorite music to write and
    play.
