Jilka, you are to be commended for coming forward with your string-filled past. If you want private lessons, I teach group lessons at Westside Daycare in the summer at a rate of $5 for 20 minutes, or private lessons at $8 for half an hour. The group lessons will be with the likes of Taylor, McKenzie and Veronica, and include things such as "Pepperoni Pizza," "Wish I had a Swishy Fishy," "Grashopper Grasshopper," and everyone's favorite, "Up Like a Rocket."

I, too, have attended String Fling. Jilka, is it possible you are my long-lost brother, and you and Fat Pamon Darker were switched at birth?
