[Dixielandjazz] An Interesting Jazz / Workshop Festival

Tue Mar 27 18:02:02 PDT 2007

Well, this looks pretty much like the format that the Early Spring Banjo
Fling uses, except that all the concerts/performances are free.  I think
even the workshops are free.   It just finished up this past week end.
Cynthia Sayer was the headliner.  Banjoists from all over the country were
also there and performing, including a phenomenal 18 yr old lad from the
western part of the country.  I had a ball, both listening to the performers
and jamming afterwards.
