Everyone please arrive in time for a prompt 1 p.m. start. Workshops typically run for two hours, then a coffee and tea break followed by a less formal jam using tunes from our session book.
If you are coming for the first time, note that the rear parking lot off of Fayette St. provides the easiest access. We always try to have extra copies of the music for newcomers, however ear-players are welcome as well.
