Here is a photo of Tommy Bledsoe, Ernie Williams and myself hosting a banjo class.
This year--Ernie and I will be teaming up at the Sunshine State Acoustic Music Camp in St. Petersburg to teach old time banjo. We've taught together before and have had a great time and want to give everyone more attention with two instructors. It's the second weekend in October--here's the web site for more information.
