Hi Tosh,

Unfortunately I missed this post and missed the session. Can you let me know if you will be doing another one any time soon?

I would also appreciate any tips on jams or places to hear...

I would check at Trade Up Music on Alberta Street, or maybe even Fret Works down the street--they both may rent you something.

Hi-
