My talented and wonderful picking partner Elliott Rogers will be performing at a house concert in the home of Scott Anderson (a pretty wonderful picker himself).  This Monday evening event will also be attended by a really great fiddler Nate Lee.  Nate plays in the Alan Munde Gazette (if we ever have a gig again) but is in Florida attending Harley-Davidson motorcycle shcool.  What a treat.  Hope you can make it.

This workshop will take place at one of the primier music stores in the South - Fretted Instruments of Birmingham.  The long-time wonderful music store in operated by the banjo talented Herb Trottman (that beautiful and delicate hight part to Sally Goodin I play comes straight from the fingers of Herb).  I have a new presentation I am really excited about - Fretboard Stratagems or Where Do I Put My Fingers.  Hopefully I can reveal solutions to the many thorny fingerings, positional problems, and musical issues that have been a roadblock for you.  Be there!
