Michael Witcher has agreed to do a dobro workshop at my house.
Date: Sunday January 28
Time: 10:00 AM-1:00 PM
Place: My house in Danville, CA
Cost: $50
The workshop will precede a meeting of the newly formed San Francisco dobro
club, which will be at 2:00. That same night, Michael will be performing at the
Freight and Salvage Coffeehouse in Berkeley. http://thefreight.org/2007/0701-january/info_070128.html
Michael is, as most of us know, a fine musician. He is also a very capable
instructor and has given workshops all over the country.
I will be traveling next week, but I will often have email access. Contact me
