Stephen leads the workshop while Nancy, his proud mom, looks on.
Serendipity was on our side at our September monthly GODC meeting as Stephen joined thirty-six of us to teach a workshop tailor-made for the GODC at the same time that PBS released Ken Burns’ impressive, multi-part documentary, “Country Music”. The themes of Stephen’s teaching and the themes of the documentary clicked together perfectly: music birthed by diverse traditions along with the historic effort of musicians to build on that tradition over time while personalizing the music they love and play. Let’s remind ourselves from time to time that we get to play together in Music City, and we have the best in the business here to teach us … how fortunate is that?!
