Sounds like a ton of fun down there in Columbia! You and Bart had better not get Pete into any trouble! Sure would like to take one of his classes. The class at Smokey Mountain is full this year. May catch him at Dollywood.

Have fun!
Blake

well i just got home from 2 great days with pete leclair. as always his classes are superb. you can learn so much in them that you almost need to take a tape recorder and play it back so you can retain it all.

it was a great weekend, if you have never taken from pete and you get the chance you should jump at it. you will not be disappointed.


bart


p.s it was also great spending the weekend with great freinds also

I agree with Bart, you need a tape recorder, (maybe video would be better) to even start to retain all his info. He's a classic act, attend his class if you can! I've been in 2 of his classes and will try to get another as soon as I can.
