IDIOT'S
GUIDE...
...I was
interviewed for The Complete Idiot's
Guide to Solos & Improv by
Michael Miller,
and having recently received a copy, I gotta tell you - it's a
first-rate educational read. Best of all, it de-mystifies improvisation!
Check

THE
MySpace Annex
It's a great showcase for emerging talent, a nightmare to post new
material to, no technical support... this section includes a collection of
the 11
ER Blogs originally posted on my MySpace site, and some very
important info about the site. Each GREAT 8 Collection is
available here for re-visiting. Interactive, current, irreverent and fun.
