Dear Harp'ers
A couple of recent postings mentioned me as a possible NYC teacher rumored not to return calls because--or so it was implied--I'm "too busy."
NO! I'm never too busy to return calls. There must have been some mistake! What I am, these days, sadly, is too busy to do any teaching. I'm a full-time grad student trying (suicidally, it has been suggested) to keep alive a part-time musical career during the academic year so that it may flower back into full health during summer festival season. I am basically just a crazy guy who loves to make very loud funky noises on amp blues harp and refuses to allow "straight-job" pressures to kill off the music in me.
But the harp teaching had to go. Just not enough time to keep professors, Mr. Satan, AND my rangy live-in girlfriend happy. I have one dogged, determined student left--my last link with the Guitar Study Center days of five years ago--and I just don't have the heart to let him go.
NYC harp players interested in taking lessons: please call me at 212-942-7049 and I not only WILL return your calls, I'll do my best to set you up with one of the local guys who teaches--either Bob Shatkin at the New School, or Trip Henderson, or Mason Casey.
Promise.
Yers in harp fellowship:
Adam (Gussow)
