"We were honored to have Valdy conduct a Guitar Accompaniment workshop at Mingo Music Monday June 9, 2008.  He provided lots of insight for backing up a singer, and for making a single guitarist sound like a whole band.  Special thanks to those who came, and to our friend Valdy."

"I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I enjoyed the workshop with Valdy. This is the first time I have attended something of this nature where the audience was encouraged to play along with the artist. It was worth every penny. Thanks so much for hosting this." H.H.
