15 minutes of fame

There has been a fair few pages written on the Emptyflower Forum with regards to the video that I posted on this blog.

As far as the video goes, the three of us were all beginners in those days with no more than a couple of years of experience under our belts. Of course the techniques look basic and the forms are a bit lacking in substance and quality.

As Dan himself would say, "If you judge me by my worst student then I'm a bad teacher, but if you judge me by my best student then I'm a very good teacher."

In those days we were unable to demonstrate in a quality way, but Dan was willing to come and help us do the TV programme. He gave his time for free to help out on a local morning TV show for "housewives", "retirees" and the "unemployed". Even then I doubt many were watching!

It was just our 15 minutes of fame, please don't take it so seriously! We don't!
