Hi Charles and Tim,

I've been trying for years to get the rights to teach James Taylor's songs but he's not giving them to anyone. Too bad, because Pete knows the material very well. I'll check with the publishers for the Simon and Garfunkel rights. That's a good idea, but we'll have to see. It's always tricky to get these licenses.

Hi Happy, I just added Basic Theory & Basic Arranging to my Buiding Blocks collection. I learned more in one hour than I did in an entire semester at community college. I really enjoy your "gentle" teaching style. Yes, please keep the theory and arranging lessons coming. My only disapointment is that there is no disc 3,4,5...

Since I upgraded to Windows 7, I can't access the download site. I was going to purchase the Tom Rush DVD, and I tried to connect last night and again this evening, but the software doesn't recognize that I am connected to the Internet. Is there a Windows7 version?

Thanks,
Roy

Hi Happy,

Any luck on getting the rights to have Pete teach a few James Taylor tunes?

Hi Happy,

Was wondering if it's possible to have pete huttlinger teach a lesson on simon and garfunkel. Specifically the songs America, boxer, homeward bound, and Mrs. Robinson. Thanks!!
