Guest Tutor this week!

Hi, tune crew.

This week we have the excitement of a guest tutor. Tune fanatic, font of tune knowledge and amazing multi-instrumentalist Steve Cook, from the Irish band Tulca Mor, will teach the class on Wednesday 21 April, 2010. Here's a link to a bit too much info about Steve:  http://users.tpg.com.au/folkrag/profiles/Steve_Cook.htm

In last week's class we indulged our romantic notions and learned Josefin's Waltz, by Roger Tallroth. Sweeping, charming and Swedish, this lovely waltz is played by Irish and Scottish players as well, and it was lovely to learn a slow tune and immediately play it up to speed!

Nicole will be back to teach on Wednesday 28 April. She's in Melbourne doing art stuff this week, and Cloudstreet will play at Mt Beauty Music Muster next weekend in Victoria.

Til then, crank it up.
Nic
