Trimpin Rocks

I watched Trimpin last night at SIFF. Trimpin: the sound of invention is a documentary playing at the Seattle International Film Festival. If you're interested in music or looking for creative inspiration, be sure to watch the next viewing on June 1st.

2007 WOTFA Workshop

The Washington Old Time Fiddler's Association hosts a week long workshop each year. I attended for the first time this year and it was a wonderful way to spend the week.

I entered the Lower Intermediate class taught by Leslie Beck (she's from Idaho). Leslie is a great teacher. Although the class had varying degrees of experience, she kept us at just the right pace to learn 20 songs over 5 days. That's a lot of songs, but she made it fun. Plus she provided notation and a CD of her playing each song (including slower versions of the fast songs).
