I just won the auction on Ebay and am very excited about viewing these CD's, the entire set. AS you may know I am just getting into this and I'm hoping it will answer most or all of my questions I've been pondering. I guess I only have the new CD of his to buy to have a complete set??? Anyway, I'm looking to some entertaining evenings coming up!!!!!!!

John's dvd's are great sources of information. Just don't emulate his dance moves and remember the baseball cap is optional

can groove. :)

John, do you have a free sample of the dance moves to see what kind of competition i'm dealing with ?

I will have to try it with a hockey helmet though! safer for me!

Actually the dance moves, if you can call them that, are completely
horrendous. I'm cruel so I enjoy subject you all to them.

John, my Bear dancing moves are probably more horrendous than yours, that's why i thought of the hockey helmet and it would not be the most elegant thing you'd see

I also bought John's DVD set and I just preordered his latest voicing dvd, I don't think you can get a better source of information, the way he goes into detail and show different ways of doing the same thing. He's down to earth and like the guy next door. He definately inspired me to go out in the shop and make some saw dust. Keep making them dvd's John, and I'll keep buying'em.    Red

Thanks for the kind words. It's a rewarding experience to get to interact
with so many guys and gals out there. I'm glad I could be a small part of
your journey.
