Great lesson on jamerson style
Thanks very much, Olivier.
Dan,I don’t know how you do it but you inspire me every time.
Welcome to France and the freezing temperatures, even here in the south we have minus 8 at the moment and my eighty year old fingers complain every time I practice.
Have a good Christmas and keep safe. Kind regards, Mick.
Thanks, Mick. Where are you based? We’re in the Basque country and it’s really nice although still feels cold!
Hi Dan, we live in the Luberon near the town of Apt outside the village of Villars (84400). I’ve got a Epi EB0
if you are having withdrawals.
Lovely! I was going to buy something but I think I’ll just wait and play extra when I get back. Have a good Christmas!
