Bill Evans banjo workshop online 2/11
The Banjo Lounge is hosting another of their periodic online banjo workshops on February 11. This one will be conducted by Bill Evans, and will focus on playing bluegrass banjo accompaniment, or backup.

This will be a two hour workshop (3:00-5:00 p.m. EST, 2/11/07), with the first hour devoted to first position backup, and the second playing backup up the neck.
The Bill Evans workshop will be limited to 25 participants, and pre-registration and a $20 fee are required to hold a spot. You can find registration details on The Banjo Lounge site.
