21 Oct 04 - 01:15 AM (#1302543) Subject: Great Banjo, Fiddle, Guitar Workshops From: biglappy Jim Lloyd and Kirk Sutphin, two old-time music and fiddler's convention stalwarts are offering workshops at Holiday Lake 4-H camp. These guys are the real deal-- tradition-bearing old-time music families, years of fiddler's convention competition, real genius. These are the guys that the other old-time musicians want to play with when they can. Jim is teaching guitar and Kirk is teaching clawhammer banjo. Alan Jabbour, who is with the Library of Congress, is teaching fiddle. He has been playing old-time for 40 years and can probably be forgiven northern roots and an advanced degree. http://www.ext.vt.edu/resources/4h/holiday/oldtimemusic.html The classes are small, the camp is comfy, this is a great opportunity to get your playing up a notch, not to mention just hang out and hear musicians this good. |

Alan Jabbour is coming over to the UK in February to the Foaotmad Old Time Festival at Gainsborough, which will also involve workshops. I'm really looking forward to it. More later. Ray |
