FYI there are 2 such schools here in Austin, TX, and have been for years. Making live rock'n'roll is considered normal adult or kid behavior in this town. And, teaching kiddos is good supplemental income for struggling, skilled musicians. Good luck to the Detroit fellow. memphishank

I know Jason personally as a fellow student and member of the music community, and I can't think of anyone I know who exhibits as massive a capacity for determination and herculean effort. And he's a sweet sweet man. Good work, buddy. My best to you.
