Hey All,

The first How to Play Fiddle in a Band workshop went well, but we really didn’t have time to interact and give each member an opportunity to “play in the band”.

This time, we are going to be interactive. Greg Fisher has volunteered to help out, and we will be playing some fun oldtime songs and giving you all an opportunity to play lead and harmony.

The Songs we will be playing are:
Rollin In my Sweet Baby’s Arms – A
John Henry – G
Tennessee Waltz – D

The Keys listed are only suggestions, and if you prefer to play it in a different key, that is fine with me. :)

Bring your fiddle, and any other instrument you wish. Other instrumentalists are welcome as well. This will be a fun time, and less structured than most of the workshops have been.

Hope to see you there!
