Website vs. the Blog

I never have the time to blog with any consistency.  The last post is a couple years old, but thank God the lesson rates are the same.  At least I'm consistently teaching/gigging and not blogging.  I will make a more formal website in the near future, but perhaps keep this for online content as things develop.
