Every demo I do has a mandolin or resonator on it - some element of the bluegrass or classic country world that I grew up listening to and that first drew me in.

We have a wonderful energy that a solitary potter often loses and finds it hard to keep.

We have learned that current Internet search engines are slow and ineffective in finding the resources our clients are searching for, and when an adult or senior client has an urgent issue that needs to be addressed immediately, those are the times when every second counts. These are the values our Web-based Directory delivers for industry professionals: speed and accuracy.
