About the European Summer Tap Seminar 97 in Neufchateau, Belgium

I went to Belgium to take part in the European Summer Tap Seminar 97, organised with Academie d'ete de Wallonie, Neufchateau, Belgium.
Seminar was open from July 5th. to 12th.Due to my bussiness, I could not take part in it from July 5th. to 8th.But I had a great time and lots of friends.

With Daniel Schell.Daniel is a Belgian Stick player, composer and designer of the C-dots method.When I was in Neufchateau, he was not in a good condition.
I hope he become well.

(L to R) Me, Myron Edwards from England and Frank Jolliffe.Frank is a great musician in New Jersey, USA. Last November I went to USA to take lessons from him. He is also a good teacher.Frank has his web page. See http://www.touchstyle.com .

(L to R) Gerald from Austria, Wolfgang from Germany,Kuno from Jermany, me and Antoinette Francotte from Belgium.Wolfgang plays pedal steel sound by his Warr Guitar and uses his original the Daiss tuning -- guitar - mirrored 4ths, uncrossed hands.Kuno plays his 8-stringed Warr Guitars like a electric guitar. That is very good. He also plays the 12-stringed Warr Guitar, but he says his favorite is 8-stringed now.

In the picture to the right, Gerald am playing his original hand-made guitar. It has 12 strings.

In Libramon station, near Neufchateau. There is not a railway station in Neauchateau. I went back to Brussels.In Brussels,Antwerpen and Brugge, I enjoyed sightseeing. I have been in Belgium for the first time and Belgium bacame my favorites. When I get a chance, I will go to Belgium again.

I took lots of pictures in Belgium. Some of them I put down this web pages. I try to construct a web page of Belgium sightseeing. Wait for a while.
