That's something I'm hoping Sandy gets some help with. He's at a disadvantage presently. Understandably, Sandy doesn't have the necessary skills to compete here in the digital age.

Tony's arrogant and condescending post on the matter did not motivate my decision.

No disrespect intended, its a touchy subject, obviously. I posted my concerns publicly, only because it is the subject of the thred. Perhaps i should have PMed this one. Its hard to express what Sandy wanted me to say, without stepping on toes. Sorry for the lack of tact.. im known for that.

Tonio,
I should have been more specific. By "digital" I meant some computer skills; to be able to navigate in this world, where information is passed along in the blink of an eye. Mike Spiro is someone who has adjusted his approach to the new reality. I think that's the shape of things to come. I was speaking of teaching this music though, not performing it.
