Schedule of Events:

1:00 pm - 3:00 pm: Western Swing Fiddle and Band Camp

These are the Rus Davis Memorial Workshops in honor of Rus, my late friend and fellow fiddler. We plan to assemble all the students and break them up into bands. Other fiddlers and I will be coaching the fiddlers, guitarists will coach guitar players, bassists will be working with bass players and singers will coach vocalists. We will be giving out CDs with great western swing tunes as well as sheet music and lyric sheets. At the culmination of the four days, we will be presenting a concert featuring all the student bands. This is a great opportunity to learn that wild and wonderful music we call western swing, so please join us. - Paul Anastasio
