If his classes are half as good as his instructional video, you're in for a treat. The thing I loved about his video is that is was about the art and humanity behind the technology. For people who never had a chance to participate in real sessions with real musicians in big studios, I'm sure it's an eye-opener.
Tell him I said hi, and that you heard he was doing mic placement for me at AES [inside joke, he'll chuckle].
