Kentucky Music Week - June 9-14
Want a week of solid music instruction, jamming, and making new friends? Kentucky Music Week is June 9 – 14 in Bardstown, KY. Check out the web site (http://www.kentuckymusicweek.com/ ) to learn more about the 150 classes offered. I’ll be teaching clawhammer banjo and Travis-style guitar fingerpicking.
Kindle Tab eBooks
My tab ebook offerings for Kindle (Kindle devices, and the Kindle app on iPad, PC and Mac) continue to grow. The reception and feedback have been great. Most books are only 99 cents and are meant to be a low-cost way (for you and for me) to help new players learn new tunes, grow their skills and maintain their enjoyment and interest in their banjo.

The tabs are viewed best on a large-screen Kindle device, such as the Kindle Fire, Kindle for the iPad, and Kindle for the PC or Mac. On most devices, you can click on the tab image, rotate the device to display the tab in landscape mode, or expand the screen to increase its size and readability.
