Old Songs Slow Session Wed., November 15, 2017

Hey music buddies,

Quick reminder that this Wednesday is our Old Songs November Slow Session. We will be upstairs because George Wilson is giving his fiddle classes downstairs.

I hope more folks will join us this month! There will be a learn-by-ear tune to start and then we'll do Round Robin, so get started thinking of the tune you'd like to play.

A couple of little pieces of news:

1. Songs of George Ward - Until the Black Flies Go at Old Songs on Saturday, November 18 at 7:30 PM. Featuring Dave Ruch, John Roberts, George Ward, and special guests.

Old Songs is celebrating our dear friend (and one of my musical heroes) George Ward in a star-studded retrospective of his music. We have all enjoyed his songs and learned so much about music and history from him. Let me encourage you to show your respect to a great man and a great musician. Get your tickets today!
