MIAMI! I will be putting on a new class in bluegrass jamming class starting two weeks from Wednesday!!! This is a great opportunity for beginning string musicians to learn how to jam effectively and to have a safe space to play with others! I will be teaching using the Wernick Method, a time-tested model for jamming instruction (700 classes taught, 7500 students registered). Please help me grow the South Florida bluegrass community by sharing this post and please pass along this info to anyone you think might be interested!! Thank you!! Here is the link to my class page: https://letspick.org/class-pages/ms-2019-10/

The Page Turners and I are on our way back down to CA after a fun stint in the PNW (only made slightly worse by an ankle sprain, which is healing nicely). Yesterday we got to rehearse some new material, including this earworm by Carolyn, which we'll be trying out in California next week!
