Hi Doug,
if you could somehow arrange to organizea Costa Rican recording workshop
this would really make my dreams come true!
Costa Rica is one of the places where I would love to record.
If I may suggest a date it would be from the November 16 to 25. I
suggest this because this is the only time I could possibly get off from
work.
I would be ever so happy if you could consider this.
So please let everybody know when you have more details.
Volker
