Rachel & I will teach the same tune or tunes to both our workshops, then, we can all come together with anyone who wants to learn some guitar, etc, and play together. afterwards, if there are enough folks, we can have a little dance. We could also add a separate harmony singing workshop, if enough folks want it."

There will also be some American Square Dancing, with an introduction from caller Allison.
