THE SKUNK MISERY RAMBLERS fiddle club The fiddle club is sort of misleading in name. It's open to ALL acoustic stringed instruments, guitars, mandolins, mandolas, mandocellos, basses, violas, you name it. It's also open to ALL ages. It's also open to everybody and anybody, of any ability. The director of live performances, Nick Neuman, does a phenomenal job of arranging parts from beginners to really advanced players. Want to join? Ask, and you're in. email me here for information: WE'RE STARTING UP AGAIN IN A FEW DAYS, JUST WAITING FOR THE SNOW TO STOP!!!
FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T VISITED A WORKSHOP, THEY'RE ALL FREE, AND THE LEADERS ARE ALL AMONG THE WORLD'S FINEST AT WHAT THEY DO. WANT TO LEARN IRISH FIDDLE? YOU COULD HAVE SAT IN AND LEARNED FROM LIZ AND YVONNE KANE, MULTIPLE ALL-IRELAND CHAMPIONS, WITH A RECORDING RESUMÉ TOO LONG TO LIST. CAPE BRETON? YOU COULD HAVE LEARNED FROM MADDY RANKIN AND ANDREA BEATON, TWO OF THE ALL-TIME BEST FROM THE FOUNDING FAMILIES OF CAPE BRETON MUSIC!
THE BEARFOOT BLUEGRASS CAMP A Smashing Success!!!!! Spread all over the church, and even in a boat.

Gudrun Walther of Cara, another champion fiddler sharing her secrets! Grada visiting the folks at Brown School in Madison for an impromptu workshop, which was very successful, and a Gaelic lesson, which, well, wasn't so successful.
