February 15, 2008 Musespeak.com updates

It's the end of an era, I removed all references to accompanying services. My plate is full enough with gigs and students.

If you are looking for a piano accompanist, visit the ARMTA Calgary website and check out the teacher directory. Look for "Acc" for subjects/services offered.

Speaking of which, I need to continue practicing for my upcoming gigs.
