Howie Bursen: Banjo Camp North
Howie will be on the staff of this fabulous camp for those who want to learn to play the banjo. Incredible staff, comfy lodging and good food. Great friends, old and new. If you want to learn the banjo (bluegrass or old-timey or classical) this is the opportunity you've been waiting for!

$10
Yes, the First Time Stringband will be the featured band for this wonderful contradance (which includes homemade pie at the break!). We will be playing with all five members, a rare treat: Jeff Davis (fiddle), Dan Lanier (fiddle and mandolin), Deck Naiforth (harmonica, bones), Howie Bursen (banjo) and me (guitar). If you've never contradanced before, come a little early for the catch-up class for beginners. All dances are called (taught) and of course, there is a LIVE (and lively) band....US!
