12:00p – 1:00p | Ben Townsend | Banjo | Banjo Licks & Tricks: Expanding on banjo ideas by adding new foundational elements I guess would be the idea. Talking ways to spice up tunes you already play by adding new spicy licks. | Watch archived video password = 2D?0!e9@ | ||
12:00p – 1:00p | Sophie Enloe | Fiddle | Tunes from Gribble, Lusk, and York: In this workshop we will learn one or two tunes from Gribble, Lusk, and York, a Black old time stringband from Warren County, Tennessee, whose recordings from the 1940s feature some of the liveliest yet most haunting playing I’ve heard. These recordings have had a major impact on modern old time music in terms of both sound and repertoire. We’ll talk a little bit about the history of these musicians for those who aren’t familiar with them, and we’ll also use the tunes we learn as a vehicle to discuss techniques like bowing, phrasing, and tune interpretation. | Watch archived video password = 1t^&X28= | ||

2:30p – 3:30p | Jerry Gallaher | Banjo | An Exploration of some Banjo Tunings: One of the real joys of playing the banjo in these isolated times is messing around with different tunings. Sometimes a familiar tune in a different tuning will give it new life. Some tunes just cry for twisting the knobs so it will come out right. And sometimes when you find yourself in a less familiar tuning new tunes will bubble forth. | https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81314607405 | 813 1460 7405 | sunday28 |
