On Wednesday nights I take a Mando I classes and then afterwards I have a Bluegrass class. The mando class is a beginning class which is my level. I can play a whopping 5 songs from memory and know the basic open/closed chords and can move those shapes around (although I need to learn them now without bending my wrist).
Anyway, after our class ended at 7 some folks came in and started setting up. I thought this odd because we always use the space for our Bluegrass class at 730.
Hanneke Cassel, Ariel, and Christopher were the ones setting up. They then proceeded to teach the now growing class one of her songs. A private clinic!! Really cool and it sounded great.
It was a nice intro to Celtic style music. Other folks were playing along with them (local Celtic fiddle class/group) and learning the song. Me, I just smiled and enjoyed the music. Hanneke had asked me earlier who I was and what instrument I had. (case was closed and next to my chair) She asked if I wanted to sit up front. I'm not even close enough at being somewhat decent to ever entertain such a thought!!
Just a great 1 1/2 hour clinic and chat session.
