Hi Everyone,
2017 marks our 50th year of producing music instruction in a variety of media for learning players all levels! Some of you are newcomers to Homespun (Welcome!) but many have been with us almost since the beginning. A few will remember the reel-to-reel tapes, audio cassettes, VHS and BETA video and other older technologies that we have gone through over the years.
