Let me announce our new TOTM. How Deep Is the Ocean.
I talked with Behn and we will attempt to keep this TOTM at about a month. Behn's idea! Hence we will live up to it's description.
HOWEVER, and in addition. Next Saturday at 2 pm we will have an online class where we will talk about the tune and take questions. Behn and I want to really experiment with the class idea. We're going to be trying out (beta) two things. One is using Livestream for classes and the other is Skype.
Livestream has better sound, but it's not 2 ways. So you have to ask questions via the Chat box. But in a way that could work fine.
Skype will let us bring 3 or four other guys. There are issues with skype so we probably want to try this out for a while. In the end we will charge a small fee for the skype lessons if they work out. Premium members will pay very little. This is so Behn or whoever is doing the course can make an extra buck or two for there time. I think I'll wind up charging a small fee for students and making the premium members free.
This is all an experiment. I really hope you guys will make it a point to try this stuff out so we can see the possibilities.
Maybe to be a step ahead you might go to www.livestream.com and make an account. It's free. Then it's easy to chat with us.
It's great and it's fun thinking up new ways to work with you guys. Without large resources we have to try and do things low budget, but we're trying to find the inexpensive ways to do all this.
I hope you will of course practice How Deep is the ocean, and also come to the class next Saturday.
