I hung with the "Song A Week" group religiously for the first six months. It was a musical Bataan Death March to learn a tune and post a video every week! ... So, are people posting their "Grubs" somewhere, or is this just a personal pedagogical challenge? I don't see them. (I also don't see these few messages in the group. Perhaps if I paid closer attention I wouldn't be as confused!)
