Palo Alto, Ca 94306

Cost: $40.00 Rick Ruskin
Learning patterns and other peoples' licks can only take your
abilities so far. At some point every player wants the experience of
playing "without a net." This workshop, taught by a guitarist who has
made his reputation by arranging and playing some of the most
unexpected tunes as fingerstyle pieces, is designed to help get you
there. Music and techniques will be performed, examined and explained.
Hand outs included. Bring tape recorders, instruments, writing
implements, and lots of questions. All levels of players welcome.

This Ruskin guy is both an outstanding player, he is an excellent
teacher. He knows what he is doing, and how he does it, and he can help
a picker improve.

I was just practicing in the kitchen and was told I shouldn't be doing
that without a hair net.

Good catch. Nice to hear from ya. Where you been?

I'm still full of shit. Where's Norm?

[Tom from Texas]

I know you and I'd say you require a beard guard, too. It'll help keep your beard outa the strings, too. Now, about this Ruskin guy, does he do home delivery?

Tom (practice?) from Texas

[Rick Ruskin]

Sure I do. Books, CD's, & videos. In person fee is $50 per hour
door-to-door, round-trip. I have a Maserati fund tom feed, ya know.

:) I drop in here every once in a while. It's
nice to see a few are still here. I don't use
Facebook, so this is it.

I wonder how Norm's doing? He had cancer, and I
never heard if he kicked it.

Glad to see your gigs are doing well!

I still like this haunt a lot. That said, FB has proven to be a large
and free (but for time invested, of which I have more than money to
invest) resource for me, putting me in contact with folks I haven't seen
in decades, people Ive never met who support our music, etc.

He did, and as far as I can tell he is as full of piss and vinegar as
ever. That said, I don't think he remembers how to work Usenet.

Thank you. Yeah, that is fun. Shaidri just keeps getting better.

I have a new duo, too, ，H HA!, with Andrew Hardin. We have become
picking pals and good friends. This is the first time in my life I've
been in a band with someone famous, so I intend to milk that for
everthing we can.

For what it's worth, Norman is at the East Coast Gathering this weekend.
Couldn't make it myself, but I see the pics.
