We had six smiling faces at the Sunday SSV workshop at Artichoke Music including two new faces, Phil and Jim. In addition, Chuck joined in with his harmonicas. John Michael, Sean and Ed also attended.

Sean shared several song sheets and everyone played a song and accompanied others.

There is interest in receiving guitar and songwriting lessons during future workshops.

Phil inquired about improvisation to add interest when playing chord progressions. Here's a link: Improvising Over Chords Without A Net -- Handout.

We heard a great tribute to Woody Guthrie last Saturday from Mike and Ruthie, who were in town on their way to Sisters Folk Festival to perform with their band, The Mammals. If you're thinking about getting back to basics, it doesn't get mor basic than Woody's songs.
