Michael Cleveland has been added to the Roanoke Bluegrass Weekend faculty for 2006, taking the place of Kenny Baker, who has found that he will be unable to teach this year.

The RBW staff will make refunds available to any students who had registered especially to study with Kenny, though they expect that serious students of the fiddle will find Michael to be a much more than capable understudy.

Roanoke Bluegrass Weekend will be held from November 10-12, 2006 in Roanoke, Va. Four scholarships are available this year for young pickers aged 13-24.
