I’ve been here since the beginning as well. I took lessons from an instructor for the first 3 months or so and then it’s been Johnny’s site! I really like the professional feedback ya get. Back when I started this was a hopping site! Tons of interactions and dialogue going on. Dunno what happened but would be nice to get back to some level again!!
