We had a wonderful time at GreenSpaces last Saturday with Fletcher Bright in his bowing techniques workshop. Here’s a short video clip of Fletcher teaching some of the tricks involved with playing “Orange Blossom Special,” a handy thing for every fiddler to keep in his or her back pocket!

We had the extraordinary pleasure of hosting Colleen Heine, director of the Folk School of St. Louis, in Chattanooga for a few days in the middle of June. She came to share with us all the details of what makes a successful urban-based folk music school, and we certainly made the most of her visit! We had extensive meetings every morning/afternoon, and then tunes every night. Here’s Fletcher Bright, Bobby Burns, Matt Evans, Joseph Decosimo, Colleen Heine, and Doc Cullis playing a really fun version of “Black-Eyed Susie” on June 16, 2009. Colleen is doing wonderful things with the Folk School of St. Louis, and gave us so many ideas for what we can do with a folk school in Chattanooga. Plus, she’s a great fiddler! Bonus!
