Let's get a couple more, I think we got.

0:16.6

Oh, look, Antonio Collar Showbeams on the...

0:19.8

Oh, no, that's Molly Evans saying Antonio's Collar Show Jobbe. Oh, Amy's got a great question, actually. All right. Can you guys do a podcast giving a few case studies, specific playing levels, along with how that person would best plan a week's practice? Say, using the Open Studio Practice Journal, the Poojo, as we like to call it. Poojo.
