Every time I think of that it cracks me up.

    What is this guy’s name? I’d love to see if he is selling any music in the U.S.

    He can’t keep in practice in Smolensk!?
    Or is the usual problem I’ve had when living abroad and trying to learn a language – everyone wants to practice their English on me…
