---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment Wim, Paul: I missed Bill Garlick (though took in whatever I could get from at conventions in the 80's). But I attended the introductory seminar with Scott Jones in '91, shortly before the program was revamped somewhat. Just attended the tuning/voicing week last fall taught by Eric Shandall, and I must say that Eric is a very sharp instructor, and well worth the cost of the flight and hotel. A most extraordinary experience. Bill Shull In a message dated 6/20/2002 1:19:23 PM Pacific Standard Time, kupelian@Oswego.EDU writes: > Wim, > I was in the last class that Bill Garlick taught.
