I want a common ground to get together and talk about whats new what everyone is doing and of course play music. I have a large studio and tons of equipment so we will always have a place to host the group.

Mission Statement: Over the next few years, I would like to immerse myself in the learning and understanding all types of music: classical, baroque, folk, jazz, blues, rock, country, etc., to experience the process of lyric and song writing, and to learn to play instruments from cello to kazoo (I don’t mean master, but to gain an introduction to a wide variety of instruments). I would like to find individuals, musicians or non-musicians, interested in joining or participating in this endeavor. P …

We marvel at music's magic when we hear it and even more when we can play it.  We aspire to play the guitar like the people whose music has filled our lives with joy and sadness and tears and laughter.  We dream of expressing ourselves similarly with the guitar tantalized and enchanted by sounds that spring out of our own imagination and experiences.  This group is meant to help guitarists get more out of their guitars and the music they like whatever their reasons for playing may be and whateve …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music.
