Although it's many years since I met John, I have discussed the move with him on email. He's not seen my lesson, and ironically I've not seen David's (although I had a brief conversation with him when it was first mooted). Perhaps I should have said 'it _was_ the first time...' since it predated David's DVD by a couple of years.
i only have davids version..... when searching for material to learn from it is the only thing i came across, aside from jay's.....
so it looks as though you could have a niche there to exploit if your method is that good!!!
