Traditional slow airs were often derived from songs, and many songs are sung to the tunes of traditional airs. This workshop will explore these relationships, with examples of both.

April 21, Saturday, 5 pm
The Inn At Lucky Mud
STEWART & BETTY HENDRICKSON & JERRY MIDDAUGH. Traditional songs from the British Isles & America along with fiddle, guitar & hammered dulcimer. An afternoon concert followed by a potluck dinner and jamming into the evening hours. At a beautiful B & B (Best Places Northwest, 2007) near the Columbia River in SW Washington. REVIEW: "The musical tapestry so creatively woven by the ensemble--Stew with his poetry, guitar, fiddle, and beautiful sonorous vocals, Betty with the delightful, delicate melodies dancing from her hammered dulcimer (joined by Jerry's quiet underlying counterpoint), and Jerry's precise guitar work complementing his resonant vocals--kept the audience mesmerized from start to finish. Overall this was a great concert and a marvelous experience--an eclectic collection of traditional folk music from the British Isles and America played with sensitivity, expertise, and flair--if you ever have the opportunity to hear them play, jump at the chance, as it is an experience you will cherish!" Doug Sheresh, Communications Director, Wahkiakum Acoustic Guitar Society.
