As Del’s student, it was amazing and inspiring to hear his story from the beginning. He’s always going on and on about technique and doesn’t share his geeky past! I enjoyed the tangents, on both sides. Like fillers to the focal point in truly great flower arrangement, if you know what I mean. Thank you!
*Now I just need Laura’s interview.
Great interview- the tangents to all the non-dancing references/ideas were cool! Is there a link to the book Del is/was writing?
Hi Steven. Thanks for listening! Del said he is currently working with an editor on the book and he hopes to publish it sometime this year.
Thanks Steven! Glad you enjoyed it. Del was an awesome guest with a lot of unique ideas.
