Hope all y'all in the Columbus area can make it down to Lancaster for a day
of workshops, private lessons, and a concert. I'l be teaching two workshops
one on improvisation called "I don't improvise, I make stuff up" and one one
playing in one key while tuned to another" You'll need a capo for this one,
but it's also a great introduction to what you can do with a 1.5 fret tho'
you'll not need a 1.5 for the class (I'll explain when you get there).

Then next week is the Indiana Dulcimer Festival which is unique and cool, ad
features some of my favorite dulcimer folks on the planet: Bing, Aaron,
Lois, Rob, and Steve. It'll be my first time here, but I've heard great
things about it, from folks like you, who attended last year.

Week after that is the newly expanded Kentucky Music Weekend and my debut at
the awesome Swannanoah Dulcimer week, but I'll tell you more about that a
little later.

In the meantime, come to Lancaster!

C-ya out there.
