Winnipeg

The band (and their families) travelled to Winnipeg yesterday to join Alvin for his last day of teaching Bluegrass Banjo for Beginners at the Folk Exchange. It was a chance for the students to learn what the roll of the banjo would be in a band setting. It was also neat to hear the students play. I was amazed at how well they could play after only 6 weeks of classes.

We ended off the day with a jam at the home of Aaron and Kim Burnett. Aaron is a children's entertainer, and has previously played in bands with Alvin. Both John and Alvin will be joining Aaron on stage for his sets at the Winnipeg Folk Festival this year.

Hope to see you at some of the upcoming gigs!
